What to do? Lung nodules with End Stage Cirrhosis

@jeanne5009- Thank you Colleen and good morning Jeanne. I briefly looked at your history and it looks like you have been very challenged in the healthcare department. How are you holding up?
The first question I would like to ask is if the results of the PET scan have been given to you? What was the reason for them? That's a darn good question, "what do I do?" You wait for the results and give your doctors time to talk this all over and to see what treatment is best for you. A 1 cm ( a little over an inch) jump in size is a sizable jump. The doctors will probably also see if there is immunotherapy suitable. Maybe they will discuss a biopsy.
Are there any questions that you would like to ask me? Are you under any treatment for the lung lesion prior to the PET scan?

Not sure about immunotherapy...don't know much about that yet. And...not even sure if they can do a biopsy because of the location. It's near the heart.
The Director of Pulmonology should have the disc tomorrow so I may hear more this week. Plus the docs at Mayo will be able to read it too. Meanwhile, I wait. God gave me a lot of patience but lung nodules growing this fast make me nervous.
