Kramont Thu, 22 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT Hi!!!st of all I want to tell you that I am a registered CT tech...So I know a little.  Nodules are not always bad...many people have them. Although with your wifes history, I can see why you would be concerned.  You should consider a PET scan.  Most insurances will cover the cost with a diagnosis of pulonary nodule, and I am sure that a history of breast ca would help also.  With out seeing the scan/report its hard to say.  But many many peopl ehave benign nodules in the lung/adrenals.  Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Kim Kimbersue Fri, 20 Apr 2007 00:00:00 GMT
