Did you have a clear thoracic scan before?
I also had a 2 mm node show up on a scan 2 wks ago, but it was my first thoracic scan, so it might have been there forever; since my childhood pneumonia, for example. My oncologist said that the best interventional radiologist couldn't hit something that small for a biopsy, and the only thing to do is keep an eye on it going forward. He thinks the chances are very good that it is benign.
According to what I read, lung nodules are found on about 50% of thoracic scans, and about 90% of those found are harmless.
