Thank you for checking on me . Had my PET scan and 2 nodules lit up. The next is a biopsy. Just waiting and trying to be still.

@cinders59, a biopsy is a great next step. The active PET doesn’t always mean cancer, and a biopsy will get to the cellular level of the nodule. The biopsy is generally well tolerated, with a slight cough afterwards for a few days. I’ve had three over the past four years. Usually a pulmonologist would perform that procedure. Are they doing the biopsy through a bronchoscopy procedure?
