I finally spoke with my pulmonologist. The good news is that there has been no change in my nodule and my pneumonia is a thing of the past. The not so good news is that I have a small inflammation on one of my lungs, but the doctor said it was so small it's meaningless. As for my continue breathing problems we decided on a tweak and I'm to follow up with her in a week.
I pressed her about the inflammation because it was a new development and I thought she was being too cavalier, but she insisted that there was no reason for concern. She's the doctor and I don't even play one on TV, but if something that shouldn't be there is now present when it was not previously that doesn't seem right to me. It may be a situation where there is nothing to do for it at the moment, but that never came up.
