Hello everyone, I had a PET/CT scan done. It was interpreted as "probably benign" but it's definitely there. The radiologist said it could be a "low uptake" tumor and that we should wait for 4 months and get another CT scan. I want it taken out. Is that reasonable? I want to talk wit ha thoracic surgeon so I made an appointment at the Cleveland Clinic. Would any of you wait? The nodule is 10mm.

Hello everyone, I will be seeing a pulmonologist at Cleveland Clinic 1/4/08; that was the soonest I could get in. I'm so concerned, and, you're all correct....waiting is the hardest part! I am so fatigued; I guess that's stress kicking in. Thanks for all the support!

thanks to all of you who posted information! It makes me feel a bit better to know I'm not alone. I had the PET scan moved to next week. The nodule is 9mm and I'm still short of breath. I think I will find a doc at Cleveland Clinic since I live close to there; should it be a pulmonologist?

Hi. I just found out I have a nodule in my right lower lung. CT scan and x-rays done. The doc wants me to have a PET scan but tells me "not to worry". Is it normal to wait for a scan for two months?
