I have been under the care of a pulmonologist due to nodules in the lungs, identified via CT scans. There have been three scans and since one of the nodules continues to grow (now up to 10mm), I am scheduled for a PET scan. Lung cancer is a consideration. The pulmonologist continues to mention removing the lower left lobe, where the nodule exists, if the PET shows malignancy. However, I am concerned that she has never mentioned any other potential treatment, such as radiation or chemo, or other newer treatments. Has anyone out there had a similar situation? The chances of it being cancer are great due to genetics, and family history, as well as age.
