I had a CT scan of my lungs and they said they found a noncalcified nodule that needs follow up?


I went to the doctor because it hurt whenever I breathed in deep. I thought it might be pleurisy but they wanted the ct to rule out other things. What is a noncalcified nodule? All I keep getting is all this technical talk that I just don't understand. Someone please tell me what this can mean. It bothers me a great deal not knowing.

Can benign thyroid nodule become malignant cancer?


1) say biopsy shows nodule is benign, fine, but how do i know this will not turn into malignant cancer in future ?

2) should i be repeating biopsy every month or what?

3) and can (numerous) biopsies get the nodule to become malignant?

4) anyone whose biopsy detected benign nodule but this ended up being malignant cancer after some time?
----------

my best friend of 20 years + had exactly the same as this. When she was around 35 she developed a lump in her neck - the doctor did a biopsy and the results came back benign. He gave her the choice, leave the lump there as it is harmless or, have it removed. I told her to have it removed as I wouldn't want a lump in me. So, she gets it removed and as procedure, they test it. They then discover it is cancerous - she goes back in for a major operation to have her whole tyriod removed and is now on tyroxine. Remember that a biopsy only removes a small area of tissue and if that area isn't cancerous then the results will be clear. Hope this helps.  (+ info)

How can I bring an Acne Nodule to its head?????


I have a huge acne nodule on my forehead, its not painful, but it is filled with puss. Is there a home remedy to bring this form of acne to its head so it can drain??
----------

put a warm washcloth on it... keep doing it, take a warm shower, etc. The heat will help bring it to a head. Do not mash it. once a head forms, pierce it with a pin (that you have passed through a flame to sterilize) pierce the pin straight through the top of the head... then remove the pin and gently put one thumb on either side of the pimple... and PULL in the oppsite directions away from the pimple. This will help it to drain and not cause you to have irritation and a huge red bump afterward.  (+ info)

How Fast Does A Pulmonary Nodule Grow?


They found a nodule on my stepdad's right lower lobe of the lung and im just curious. So if you have the answer please let me know. Thank You!
----------

Not sure what you are asking . . has he been diagnosed with cancer or does he just have one nodule? What size is it? Is there only one? If it is under 2cm than doctors will take a wait and see approach . . he will have a CT done and than wait for three months and have another CT done for comparison. If the nodule has grown than it might be cancer . . if it does not grow than it might be an infection or something else. However, usually the only way to tell if something is cancer or not is from a biopsy. Anyway, the answer to your question would be . . it depends on what type of cancer nodule (primary or secondary) is lodged in the lung . . some types are highly aggressive and can grow in 48 hours and some are not aggressive at all and take months to a year . . so it is impossible to answer your question without more information.  (+ info)
