Essentially - these nodules have not grown in the past 6 years?

Have your doctors given you a diagnosis on your lung issues - problems with breathing?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, some of the spots in the lungs may be granulomas, or calcified nodules -- and these spots will likely be with you forever.

The most important thing, though, are these spots are not contagious, nor are they cancer, since they have not grown in the past few years.

So, instead of worrying about the spots, it is probably better to worry about the treatment of your COPD, which is the reason for your difficulty with breathing, not the spots.
