No biopsy - they were noticed on a March 2019 scan, and going back to the January PET scan they were already there, but too small to "light up". We weren't given a number, just that there was "a multitude" in both lungs, varying in size from 1mm to 5mm. By the next scan 3 months later there were still a few but the largest ones had shrunk. His most recent scan report (March 18) says "There are several tiny less than 4 mm diameter nodular opacities in both lungs which are stable." The previous scan (December 17) said "Stable 2 mm nodule in the right upper lobe. Stable 2 mm nodule in the right upper lobe. Perifissural nodule in the right lower lobe, a benign finding. Subpleural nodule in the right lower lobe measures 3 mm, likely unchanged. Stable 2 mm nodule in the right lower lobe. Subpleural nodule in the left lower lobe measures 2 mm, unchanged."
His oncologist doesn't even mention his lungs anymore.
