Hi Colleen,
I’m doing well, thank you. Yes, I have a date 9/20, though with the last PET/CT scan the doctors found a small mass .6 in my head, and a .8 nodule in my left adrenal gland. I had an MRI with and without contrast of my head, and I’m sure I’ll hear from my doctor on Tuesday. Follow up blood tests for the adrenal nodule as well. My doctor said these are not related to the carcinoid tumor in my left lung. So, we’re going forward with the lung surgery. Thank you for checking on me!

Hi @diana5, I hope you are doing well. You may even be post-surgery by now, if all went as planned. I've been getting regular CT scans for over 3 years now, and I'm often surprised at what shows up. I've had nodules on my adrenal gland show up and then disappear a few scans later. I hope your nodules are nothing of concern. Did you have the surgery?, how are you doing with recovery?
