I should add, my Dr at NJH told me that she did not think it was lung cancer since cancer would not have grown so fast between May and August. I did look it up and found that only 3 or 4 nodules out of 100 are lung cancer-so for us with BE it's likely infection, inflammation, or mucus. I'm hoping that's the case for you. Also, years ago I had a PET scan when I had hundreds of nodules in my lungs, I later went to NJH and my Dr there told me the PET cannot distinguish between cancer and infection. Not sure if the scan has evolved but food for thought. Glad to hear you are being your own advocate. Good luck.
