4mm nodular density on lung xray Posted: 06-04-08 08:09am
I had a chest xray due to a lingering
chest cold. My doctor advised that the
radiologist saw a 4mm nodular density on
my upper left lung but that it may be a
shadow. They want me to wait 3 mos to
have another chest xray. I'm very
concerned that this may be something
serious and wonder why they want me to
wait 3 months.
If they assumed on some serious lung
disease (tumor for example) they would
refer you for CT or MRI scan of the lungs
right after the X-ray. Doctors probably
though that it is not urgent but still
needs further evaluation.
What do you blood tests say about your
blood count, sedimentation rate and CRP?

The doctor has not sent me for any blood
tests so I can't provide any information
on blood count, etc.
