Hello. I know that any spot on the lung is of concern, but if there are no symptoms & he is improving on the medications, I would think this going to be a healing lesion. Doing follow up radiographs are very important to make sure the lesion is indeed resolving. I am very hopeful that Kakadu does not have cancer.
