I picked up report today to read myself and it's a mass that is" There is a hypermetobolic right hiler/Supra hiler mass present, which appears to partially encase the superior margin of the right bronchus at its lateral margin.The most hypermetobolic focus is seen along the posterior margin of the distal trachea where there is a peak of 13.9 present. There is also a hypermetobolic lower right paratracheal lymph node present measuring 9.2 peak SUV."
I'm not sure how bad this is but in December it was a 3.5 cm nodule so will I die fast from this?

Patty, it is always frightening to read a report, especially when you don't have all the pieces of the picture together. When you see your doctor, s/he will take the time to explain the details of this report along with the results of the other tests you've had. S/He will discuss what it all means and then work with you to decide on a treatment plan and next steps.
When is your next appointment?
