The presence of lung nodules alongside a colon cancer diagnosis understandably raises concerns about potential spread, though many factors including imaging limitations can affect what doctors can determine right away. Your medical team will likely want to do additional testing once they can work around your kidney condition to get clearer answers about what those nodules mean for your specific situation.
