I have an 8mm sub solid nodule that grew from 3-5 to 8 in a year

8mm sub solid nodule grew from 3-5 to 8 in a year. Pet scan had iffy reports. Should I wait 3 mths for another scan?
It’s in a difficult area to get to in my lung. But waiting has me anxious.
Thoughts?

My pulmonologist is going to call me after the tumor board meets.
One of the upsetting things for me is in the pet scan report, the radiologist says one thing in the first couple sentences, & then a paragraph down, says something diffferent.
My first thought was if it’s cancer, take it out. But I know understand maybe having to wait because of the tricky area it is to get to & that sometimes has to be bigger than 8mm.
Anyway, just hearing you respond to me brought me much comfort, so thank you!
I will come back on & report what the tomor board has to say.

@dalelieberman3 , being nervous is perfectly valid and normal. Let us know what the tumor board has to say. Hugs.
