I had a large sarcoma mass removed from my left leg a year ago..I then developed blood clots on my lungs
and now, after a PET scan I have a hypermetabolic mass on the right side of my colin..I had colin cancer
in 1999....I am now on Xarelto for my lungs and the doctor told me to stop two days before my procedure
on Friday where a tube will be inserted into my lungs for a biopsy to determine whether I have colin or
lung cancer or if it's an inflammation. I'd appreciate any suggestion, advice, hope, etc. thanks much for
your time. anna

Hi Anna (@annalyzethis), Very clever account name. You've been through so much already with your cancer history. We always hope the PET is showing inflammation, and not cancer. It sounds like they are taking the right steps to determine what they are seeing in the lung. I've had a bronchoscopy, when my lung cancer was being diagnosed. It was an easy procedure for me, but they didn't need to get really deep into my lung either. It can be different for different people. Is there a mass in the lung, or are they thinking that it may be a blood clot? Are there plans to try to biopsy the area around the colon?

Hi @annalyzethis, I'm wondering if you have learned more about your diagnosis and whether you have lung cancer or if the lung cancer lesion(s) are related to the colon cancer. How are you doing? What did you find out?
