What Causes Spots In The Liver, Spleen And Lung?

I am 30 years old female non smoker. They found spot on my liver, spleen and lung nodule. The lung nodule is about 2.3cm. two days after the CT i had very sharp chest pain and had to go to emergency. The doctor said it could be pneumonia so i took two kinds of antibiotic for 15days and did another CT after i finished the antibiotics the nodule is still there. I also did bronchoscopy and the result came out negative for bacteria, virus and fungus. I will have another CT two month after. My life is very busy and stress full on top of that i am also worried about my medical condition. Could this be cancer? What is the possibility?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should not worry much about malignancy, as your age is small for it.
Spots on lung, liver and spleen can be due to
1. Benign cysts
2. Healed granuloma
3. Fibrotic nodules
4. Rarely malignant nodules.
And your reports are also normal.
So no need to worry for this. Get done repeat scan after 6 months. If lesions are static or improving than no need to worry.
But if lesions are increasing than biopsy is needed for diagnosis.
