Hi,

I unfortunately have possible bad news on my first scan (see below report excerpt) which I completed today. RO says it is not conclusive and recommends another CT scan in one month. Hope it is an inflammation. I am wondering if anyone out there has any experience with this.

Excerpt from report:

"There are are several new right-sided pulmonary nodules. A 9-mm right lower lobe pulmonary nodule (axial CT image 68) demonstrates increased FDG uptake, max SUV 2.7. A tiny apical anterior pulmonary nodule also demonstrates faint FDG uptake (axial CT image 50). A third, 6-mm pulmonary nodule in the right middle lobe does not demonstrate abnormal FDG metabolism."

New right pulmonary nodules may represent metastatic or (less
likely) inflammatory process.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion.
