Questions on CT showing New 4B Spiculated Nodule

@snorfish a spiculated mass is a very specific type of irregular mass with what appears as spikes coming from it. Mine was diagnosed as spiculated right away and like I said almost always malignant. An irregular mass is less specific and may be benign or malignant from my understanding. Maybe your Dr used the term. I would still see a pulmonologist right away. Hope everything turns out to be ok

Thank you < 3
My primary says "this is not her field of expertise" so she is going to refer me to the Pulmonologist of my choice. I guess I'm just going with the one with the best reviews that can get me in the quickest.
Do you know if it is possible for the pulmonologist to see my radiology report and send me directly for a PET/CT or will I have to go to his office first?
I ask only because I live on a fairly remote island which has over an hour ferry ride both ways and then at minimum one hour drive both ways.
