I've been a bit worried about something. Back in April 2021, when I had Covid, I had an HRCT scan, and they found a small, ill-defined nodule in the superior segment of my right lower lung lobe. I'm 33 and wondering if maybe I should get another HRCT scan soon or wait a bit to check on whats going on with it. What do you recommend?
