I am retired and always read the reports too! 14 months ago, I had an abnormal chest-x-ray and went to first available local Pulmonologist. Based on radiologist's recommendations they ordered CT scan and then PET scan. The resulting reports stated potential cancer. I knew the local Pulmonologist had no expertise in lung cancer and requested my scans be sent to Mayo and was called the next day by Mayo. I had surgery three weeks later and had a cancer removed and a diagnosis of multifocal lung cancer. Not only are those reports important to read, but looking up the doctor's background and specialty is also important. Because they do not all have background in desired subject matter, nor does their institution offer the latest treatment options.
