Wink Re: Spot on lungs found on PET - nurse says dont lose any sleep!!!

I am so sorry to hear about your sweet little grandson. It is so sad when a child passes away. Hugs to you and your family.
If I were in your situation I would try to see another doctor in the same office as soon as possible if my doctor is not available or get a second opinion somewhere else. We have to be as proactive as we possibly can be to stay healthy.
It is a doctor's responsibility to explain test results to a patient as soon as possible and discuss options to resolve any potential problems after tests.
The nurse should not have made the comment she made. Maybe she would not loose any sleep over the results, because it is not her body that is involved, but she has no business making that kind of comment to a patient. it is highly unprofessional.
Take good care of yourself.
