Deciphering Test
Hi! My mom had a chest CT scan with contrast. Based on the results, the primary care doctor recommended a PET scan. Even with a referral, it’s going to be at least a month before she can get in to see a specialist.

8mm nodule that is spiculated
I was told they were concerned that it was cancer because it was spiculated. Doc said sending me for pet scan and then possible biopsy. 2 hours later doc calls and says they are putting me on antibiotics, then rescan in 2 months. I'm confused. I don't have insurance. That wouldn't have influenced their decision would it…
