Hi I googled with the issue you are asking about and I am sharing the link. Several links and such so I think you probably can find out what you are needing to know. Also may help you to know the questions you need to clarify with you Primary Doctor.
All the best to you. Hugs from Canada

Hi I just had a pet scan it is not scary. Just like another ct scan. They put a saline nuclear solution intravenously into ur arm and wait one hour then have ur scan if nothing else will help with diagnosis of what u have and the sooner the better hope all goes well for you. Just fyi I had to have a lung biopsy after and that was very uncomfortable just waiting for my results. Good luck

I assume that you are concerned about the nodule, not the PET scan, and if it is cancer, I had a 3.2 centimeter nodule on a CT scan and it was squamous cell carcinoma... The good news is what ever you have is in early stage, I had 6 weeks of chemo, once a week and 30 rounds of radiation and started immuno therapy, I just had another pet scan and there is no uptake, so the cancer is in remission..I am on immuno therapy and I also have COPD... good luck and feel free to ask questions.
