Re: PET scan....scared...

Maureen,

You said spot in upper right lung. Not long after I finished radiation, I started coughing and had short of breath. My onc ordered an x-ray and the radiologist said it was metastasis to my lung. I went to my onc and ordered another x-ray, it turned to be lung fibrosis from radiation. Check out again, you may probably need a third opinion. Love to you....Paty
