9mm will be too small to biopsy and be certain that they actually got a piece of the tumor. When they're that small there's a strong probability of a false negative.

There are other disease process that can cause a nodule to be spiculated. Insist that the follow up be at 2-3 months.

Thank you. I wasnt clear I guess but I wasn’t asking about a biopsy. I know 9mm is too small to biopsy, but I was asking about having a pet scan . Which is what the radiologist recommended two months ago.
