Second biopsy needed

My husband was due to get the results of his PET scan and EBUS on Thursday. The consultant has just rung to say that the samples from the chest lymph nodes have come back clear but that doesn't fit with the PET scan. So on Thursday he said he’ll talk us through the PET scan results and then examine my husband to see where else he can take a biopsy from. Can anyone throw any light on this please? ( there is a ‘mass’ in the right hilar) can anyone shed light on this please  or had a similar experience?

    Hello Myrtle31, sorry to hear about your hubby. I do not have experience of his scans, but I am sure someone will be along that has. It just sometimes takes a while for people to respond

  • Hi Myrtle I am sorry to hear about your husband. I have no personal experience of EBUS either. I just wanted to wish you good luck for today. Hopefully things will be much clearer for you both now. 

    Take care
