Joined: Jul 2010 Posts: 60 | Talked to my R/O after I got my 3 month PET scan to check me out/he said everything looked good. Yesterday I got a call/they want to do a CAT to check out some "haziness" in lungs. Anyone have this experience? The nurse said it could be some infection or due to the radiation.

They attribute it to aspiration of food and liquids when he eats. It eventually resolves. But due diligence has him seeing the lung doctor for follow ups. I hoping for a good outcome for you.
