Thank you for your soothing and calm explanation of lung nodules. I was just diagnosed incidentally from a heart CT with a less than 5 mm nodule and have convinced myself I have lung cancer. Your presentation is the best I have seen, and has calmed me down until I can discuss with my own doctor. Thank you so much!

Diagnosed years ago, now 72 and no changes. Clear lungs always !

Thank you, doctor. I was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2021. It's been 2 years, no evidence of cancer. Yes, I still have followed up every 3 months. By watching this video, it gave me validation that my diagnosis, treatment progress, and follow up are the same. It's just like second opinion. Great info and comfirmation.
-
Thank you for your excellent bedside manner. I can now relax a little knowing that ALL nodules are not cancer. It's enough to know there are other reasons for nodules other than a death sentence. Again, thank you.

I was diagnosed with several hard nodules in 1981. The doctor said it was from air pollution and to not worry about them. I was 39 then. I’m going to turn 71 soon, and never gave them another thought until your video. I’ve had no problems, even though I smoked heavily until I was 45, then quitting “cold turkey” by the grace of God. I hope I can assume the doctor was right, as I’ve had scans, X-rays and an MRI for other things, and nothing was mentioned.

Dr. Agrawai, I would like to thank you for taking the time to provide this information for patients. I am newly diagnosed and have been very concerned. Your presentation was very educational and better helped me to understand what my pulmonary and cardiologist attempted to explain to me. God bless you for your medical ministry and being willing to help .

5:55 I really appreciate the analogies for the sizes of nodules! quarter, penny, chocolate chip, lentil and mustard seed. Amazing, and the visual is brilliant. Thanks.

You are a kind man to take your time to do such a excellent explanation of lung nodules. And even more than generous to answer some pressing questions. Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge. Cancer, of course is terrifying, and you were able to reassure many today.

THANK YOU , YOU MAKE IT SO EXPLICIT AND IT TAKES THE CONFUSIONS AWAY. THE EXPLANATION WAS EXCELLENT.

I really can’t thank you enough for explaining this to me. I went to the er today for a couple issues and a found a nodule. The doctor explained but to the point where I felt like I had cancer. I literally felt impending doom leaving the ER but I am happy that I found this video to clear things up! I get a follow up soon and feel a bit better to where I can sleep tonight❤

Great for NPs too. It's nice to know what patients are listening to and learning about with their health for sites like YouTube. It helps the clinician better understand the pat from their understanding and perspective and it promotes a better discussion. Thank you.
