Hi thanks for contacting HCM....

Noted you are mentioning lung nodules with some unusual symptoms associated....
If you provide blood report then comment on that can be given..as you are mentioning abnormal report is there....

Anyway here yes possibility of malignancy is there ...
It has to be ruled out ....
HRCT can be useful...
If needed CT guided biopsy taken and send for histipathological examination to rule out malignancy....
Based on diagnosis treatment decided.

Consult good pulmonologist for your condition....

Take care.
