I wanted to see how many people have had lung nodules found on scans before. My mother was diagnosed with stage 2/3 rectal cancer and her docs found some lung nodules but said they're not suspicious, but of course I still worry 24/7. For context, she was a smoker for 35 years before quitting 6 years ago and also had constant bronchitis and pnemnuia when she was younger. I'm going to leave my mothers reports below incase anyone has any insight. Thanks
