What does this mean?

I have had a gastroscopy and a virtual colonospy (this is a type of CT scan.) On the colonoscopy paper they gave me at the hospital, it said to phone the consultants sec if I hadn't heard from them in 3 wks. Last Friday the 3 wks was a few days over, so I rang the consultants sec. As he was out of the office, and my notes were in his office she said she would leave a message and ask him to ring. At about 8.30 in the evening, he rang and said that most of the scans are good and my bowel is fine. Then he said that the scan had shown up a small nodule on my lung, that it had been checked and they don't think its cancer at this point, but i need more tests and a repeat scan in 6 months and then another at 1 year to make sure it hasn't grown or changed. I feel strange aboujt it. not really worried but not really able to forget it. Also being rung up at such a late time, if its not anything to worry about. I have been having slight chest pains for a couple of months,but nothing much. Anyone had a similar experience ? .

ithink the others are right - too long to let you know if anything serious; as I understand it the virtual colonoscopy is comprehensive and shows up most organs.
Did you have a clear out for it please? In which case it would be a colonogram.
I find these are so harsh on my small body worse then the actual ct.
Good luck
