How do you deal with monitoring a lung nodule and anxiety?

Good morning, @millard. You definitely should have had the results of your PET by now. Did the nurse at your doctor's office give you access to a patient portal?

But what matters more is why you have had five PET scans. Is this over a period of time or for a more recent problem?

This might help

Yes, we have what is called my chart, where you can ask your doctor for information and get prescriptions refilled, etc.
This is where I am asking my doctor to let me know about the nodules in my lungs caused from
MBCancer.
The doctor wants every three months a Pet scan.
The last one, I asked her if I could go every four to six months.
She agreed to 4 months for the pet scans.
I have now sent two requests to have the radiologist provide the information on my nodules.
So far, there has been no response from her office.
Tomorrow, I will ask her nurse why she is not getting back to me.
I have never had any doctor ignoring my request up until now.
