Pet Scan

Records 1-1 of 1
Subject: PET SCAN
Date: 07/01/2008
I am 53 yr old female who had rt upper lobe of lung removed ( side incision ) & chest tube for adenocarcinoma  9/06 , no lymph node involvement & no chemo or radiation, my only complication was pneumonia in left lung during hospital stay & had to go home on O2 because of low SATS ,3 months prior to that I had a large tumor removed at the bifurcation of my lungs which was squamous cell pappiloma, I also had 8 papilloma removes from my trachea during the lung surgerty& have had 3 small reoccurences of the pappiloma since then, found during my follow up bronchs & CT's. My last CT & bronch in March 08 was totally clear. I had a mammogram 6/20 that shows a lot of architectural distortion ( there was none on my last one 12/03) As it has been nearly 2 years since my lung cancer removal ,should I have a follow up PET & would it be more useful than a ultrasound or CAD in finding out if the architectural distortion is cancer? My understanding is that the type of cancer associated with my mammo results is often hard to detect as I have no lump or mass that I can feel. I have also been  told since the incision & chest tube were not in the breast that it would not be the cause of the architectural distortion. I have also had 2 maxillectomies of sinus (rt ) due to inverting papilloma. Thank You
