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.

Don't be shy about asking the doctor why. They have thousands of patients, you only have yourself. If you are not satisfied with the answer get a second opinion.
Will your insurance company cover it? It's an expensive test and they hire non medical people to make decisions about authorization of a test based on parameters that often don't fit the patient's true need.
