question-subpleural node
I just got the results of my CT-Pet scan back today. The doctor's assistant read the report to me over the phone. It said that there was no evidence of neoplastic or residual disease but then it went on to say that there was a three mm subpleural node. Then she asked me what I wanted to do about it. I told her that I wanted my oncologist to look at it and let me know what he thought. Has anyone one had this show up on their scans? How worried should I be? I don't even know what tests to expect. I just finished a year and a half of Herceptin a few weeks ago.
