My PET showed "activity" in the upper portion of both of my lungs, which they have assumed to date was scar tissue.I've had one lung biopsy on a growing "spot", and a double on those active areas. No cancer for sure, not TB or any relation of, not mold or fungus. Not anything they tested for. I was told that the activity shown might be my antibodies reacting to the oil droplets in my lungs, which are caused by aspiration. I'm told it's called lipoid pneumonia. Like I needed another kind. I've had viral, bacterial, aspiration, and now lipoid pneumonia. Can there be any more pneumonias I should watch for? smile
