Re: PET scan....scared...
Maureen:
So sorry you are going through this. It is SO stressful.
There's a lot of good advice from our sisters on this thread. The only thing I have to add is to suugest having other radiologists look at your scans and make a report. Your onc is reacting to the report, I suspect, not the scan itself.
Lung spots/shadows/nodules seem to be notoriously hard to diagnose, with lots of false scares (I had 2.) Find the top 2 radiologists in your new area and ask them to weigh in. And yes, radiation can and does change the way your lungs look on scans.
Good luck
Linda
