I just had a scan ( 5 scans total and each time it’s growing) and I see the doctor this Wednesday.
I am not sure why I was told it was not cancer. However if the Fluconazole didn’t stop the growing, I would have it removed? If it’s not cancer why just repeat scans? Why perform such an invasive surgery?

Denise- I would think that because it's growing it poses a danger that it could turn into cancer, or something else. I don't blame you for feeling scared and confused. I'd still go for the PET scan if your insurance will cover it. I say this because insurance companies have certain criteria for scans.
Multiple scans are done to trace the growth pattern of this lesion. And since you have had cancer before they are keeping a close eye on you. I applaud this. Try not to be afraid of the CT scans. I've had scans for the past 25 years. There isn't a danger with such a low dose of radiation of getting cancer from it. I started my scans when they were in very high doses.
