Hi Barbara,
How long has it been since your last CT? And what size are the nodules? It's not good news to hear, more spots or nodules. I sure hope it's a treatable infection. I had a CT in August, which was a follow up CT from May, and I had a new 8 mm nodule in just 3 months, my NJH Dr wanted a 2-month follow up. I asked her if she thought it was cancer and she didn't think so because it grew too fast-just the opposite of what your dr told you. I was diagnosed last year with M. Abscessus, which is a fast-growing NTM, so who knows. Also, PETs are a waste of time for us with BE, since they cannot distinguish between cancer and infection. I went through that 20 years ago, and it was indeed an infection. I know it's scary. Please keep us posted, Kathy

@kathyjjb Hi Kathy,
The Dr. did not tell me the size of the nodule in the phone call and I forgot to ask. I am picking up a copy of the report today where I had the PET scan, so hopefully that will tell me. I am scheduled for Bronchoscopy/Biopsy Nov. 25th. I had a no change CT last March and then I had one beginning of Sept and that showed the first new spot. He put me on an antibiotic and then I waited a month and had another CT and that's when he saw the second one. Thanks for replying, will keep you posted. I have strong faith and a lot of friends praying for me so feeling hopeful. Have a nice weekend. Barb
