I think you should take the report at face value: it may be inflammation and it may not be.
Many, many people have lung nodules that are related to current or former infections and are NOT malignancies.
Try to refrain from sharing your fear with your mother, unless she also feels that way and brings it up. In which case a balanced reaction would be helpful.
I totally get your reaction, but try not to freak out until you KNOW you have something to freak out about.
