Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 31 | Hi everyone, I'm currently starting my third week of RADs and chemo for BOT SCC. My initial Pet mentions a lung nodule which my doctors say they will worry about later. Here is the PET description, "Within the thorax there is physiologic tracer activity. There are no abnormal areas of hypermetabolic uptake. There is a 9mm non-calcified pulmonary nodule in the right upper lobe laterally, which does not demonstrate increased tracer activity. serial CT follow-up is recommended.
Physiological tracer activity is normal?
The fact that it does not demonstrate tracer activity is good news and that is why the doctors are not addressing it now or should I ask for a CT scan now?
