Thanks Della. My appointment with the pulmonologist is on the 14th, so I'll schedule the scan for a few days before that. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks SL. The protocol, so I'm told, is to follow the nodule for about 2.5 years and if there's been no change in that time then I'm in the clear. Right now I'm 6 months into that.
While not diminishing what a bad report will mean, for now my day to day concern is more about just being able to breathe properly. Some days are fine, some are not and since I'm a runner/cyclist who keeps records of his activity I know that I have fallen off a cliff in terms of performance in the past 18 months when I first started having asthma issues again. Just as with the lifting, I'm still keeping at it, but getting used to my new reality is difficult. That said, I know that I'm in a more fortunate position than many folks so I'm in no manner complaining or whining.
