Subject: Having a Petct Scan Today!
Date: 07/13/2006
I have a nodular in my lower left lung. It isnt calcified. I went to a pulminologist yesterday.. He says if it shows to be cancerous today, he wants to cut it out. If not, he wants to wait 6 months to see if it changes at all. Does that sound about right? thanks, cheryl

That would appear to be a consistent diagnosis. So long as they test if the growth cancerous that's the key. Like I stated in my earlier posting, if its cancerous you caught it real early (evidenced by the fact they can cut it out), thus, this is positivie. If its not cancerous, I would push for an earlier checkup(perhaps 3 months). I have no medical justification for this, just being overly cautions.

i am a non-smoker..asthmatic with numerous nodules.. originally cancer was suspected. i refused a biopsy and did a PET scan 5 years ago.. they were benign.. the pet scan is wonderful and effortless.. good luck. marlene
