so scar tissue can be spiculated also ? I am new to all of this. It has been less than 5 days. I have a PET scan tomorrow. The doctor saw the 1.4 cm or 14mm spiculated nodule and was 100% sure it was cancer. My first instinct was how quick can you get it out of me. I went to discuss doing a biopsy not removing cancer. I was shocked to say the least. I requested the PET scan. I am really hoping that it is Interstitial Lung Disease which I have plenty of reason to believe it is based on what 2 pulmonologists told me. They did not see my latest CT and radiologist report yet. I am trying to look for signs, like the first post is spiculated always malignant. I am very scared. Some of the information I find helps to reassure me. Some of it scares me. This is the first I had seen about spiculated scar tissue nodules. I see plenty about scar tissue. And mention of large lymph nodes and 2 nodules. I just want to get the PET scan so I am not worrying. And of course I want PET results ASAP - although I dread them at the same time. I am not generally a worrier, in most situations. But I am very worried. Thanks in advance for any information you can provide me.
