Confused: Lung cancer, pulmonary fibrosis and more

Question: I've had 2/3 rds of my right lung removed, 85% of my left lung removed due to lung cancer. I've had 3 spots they have been watching, with 2 now growing. A third spot is now forming, my last pet scan the spots did not glow, I had a cat scan last week to find this third spot, along with the other two growing about 2-3mm. Now they want to do a pet scan on the 3rd spot to see if it glows, if it does then I will go to have a biopsy. Question: Should I go to Mayo's and have them examine me to see just what in the world is going on?

Hi Frontspec, I add my welcome. Getting a second opinion is a good idea. If you would like to request an appointment at Mayo Clinic, here is more information and contact numbers http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

@fontspec - Good morning and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. This must be extremely frustrating for you! It would be to me.
I'm the Mentor for Connect in the lung cancer group.

I have multifocal adenocarcinoma of the lung and have survived for 23+ years. I have had two lobectomies. Not fun, are they?
If you have not been given any explanation of what is going on then, yes, get a second opinion.
How long has this been going on? Do you know what kind of cancer that you have?
