Hi Cookie robin

This is potentially fabulous and positive news.  

After my successful treatment for Small Cell Lung Cancer, the routine scanning picked up at least one nodule in my lungs and so the monitoring continued until they were happy that it was just a nodule.  My consultant told me that if every adult underwent a full body scan, the majority of people would be shown to have at least one non-cancerous nodule somewhere in their body. 

Good luck for the next PET scan.  I wish you the best possible outcomes.

Thank you so much for reply…me and my mother are just a little confused.When a nodule was discovered on routine lung screening we saw the consultant lung specialist who said after many tests that it’s really concerning,the pet scan is hot but there is 10% chance it isn’t.Kind of saying it’s cancer without saying the word…..

Then biopsy fast forward to seeing then the thoracic surgeon for results who said “do you know why your here”..mother said yes for results to see what kind of cancer it is…his reply was he looked at my mother like what are you on about and “No,No it isn’t”…biopsy is negative and it’s not BEHAVING like cancer…we have all had meeting today and we all agree but we also agree that we don’t know what it is…it has grown from pet scan to ct lung biopsy image but the biopsy image could be blood etc.So another pet scan on Wednesday.

sorry for long winded reply

Hi

A negative biopsy is brilliant news.

I understand your frustration; however neither myself or anyone else on here can answer why you seem to have been given conflicting detail.  Only your medical team can provide the information you are looking for.
