Lung granuloma

Recommended Posts

Hi all

in 2005 I found out I had a lung granuloma.  I freaked out because at the time I was a smoker.  I went through all the testing and it turned out to be a granuloma and nothing else 

I apparently still have it because it’s mentioned sometimes on imaging, and other times not.  My anxiety has been extremely high lately and I’m terrified that this may turn into cancer later.  I had a ct heart scan done 2 years ago and saw that it’s still there along with another one which no one even mentioned. I thought these went away so I’m confused and scared as to why mine haven’t and I’m terrified they will cause me issues.  
Does anyone have any experience with these?  
I don’t know why I’m all of a sudden worrying about it now but it’s scaring me so much.

I was told by my wife who is a pharmacist that they do not turn into cancer and do not need to be treated unless they grow to a large size.
