Good Morning-
Did the report state anything else? Like what it appeared to be? Like possible inflammation or possible ???. Mine stated that my findings were suspicious for adenocarcinoma. Did it recommend any next steps? Or has your doctor recommended a next step? Hoping for the Best for you!❤️🙏 God Bless you!

Hi cmcguire10,
For the lung nodule (1.2X1.0), The report states "without substantial FDG avidity; however, a slow growing neoplasm cannot be excluded".
Regarding the lymph nodes that showed activity on my PET scan, the report notes: "differential considerations include a lymphoproliferative process or an infectious/inflammatory process such as sarcoidosis."
Both of my doctors, the pulmonologist and thoracic surgeon, have not yet had a chance to review the report, as it was posted to MyChart late Friday last week. I believe the doctors may suggest bronchoscopy biopsy of the lymph nodes as the next step.
Not knowing what the findings on my PET scan mean, and waiting for my doctors to review them, is making me feel very anxious.
