Hello - 12 months ago I had tests on a lung nodule that turned out to be non malignant. 12 months on it has changed in nature and a PET scan has shown moderate uptake. I have a bronchoscopy/biopsy next Tuesday. I'm just asking, if it comes back non malignant again, will I have to go through the tests again in 12 months time? It's been quite stressful!!!!! thank you.
Hello DeBond,
I don't know your history or whether you've had treatment before, but I would think if you have another scan in 12 months time that shows a change from your most recent one this will have to be investigated again so that treatment can be given to deal with it if necessary.
It would help us reply to your posts if you could add to your profile with a brief summary of your story / treatment to date. To do this on your home page click on the chair, top right, then "profile" and then "edit". Once you have written something don't forget to save it.
