How could pleural effusion and lung nodular disappear?

Several months ago an X-ray showed that I had a 4 mm nonspecific nodular and a small right pleural effusion. I insisted that my doctor did more testing on me. She had me take another x-ray. This time they told me that the nodular and the right pleural effusion were not on the x-ray. I have a hard time believing my doctor. She said sometimes it happens. Can someone tell me how to research this? Thanks in advance.

    Non specific nodular what?
    Non specific nodular what? Pleural effusions can definitely be reabsorbed if they are small.
