@akfishinmom1- Subsolid nodules (SSNs) refer to pulmonary nodules with pure ground-glass nodules and part-solid ground-glass nodules. I have no idea how low-grade cancer cells are found because they look almost like regular cells. Since the report of the CT scan picked this up I imagine that your radiologist's training and experience led him to this result. Three months is often given as the time that cells can make changes that will show up on a CT scan, depending on the kind of cancer. After that, he might determine that a biopsy is recommended.

So with your background do you know how small a nodule a Pet scan can show uptake. Based on comments it’s too small for a biopsy and the radiologist recommended 3 months for Pet scan. It will only be 2 weeks since scan. Am I jumping the gun for Pet scan? Pulmonologist is not available and not much help in decisions honestly.
