Had a PET scan on 6/4 that indicated activity in the left upper lobe measuring up to 2.6 cm with a SUV max of 7.4.
I’m wondering if I need to wait for a biopsy before discussing changing my treatment plan? my concern is the SUV max of 7.4 is highly hyperbolic. my biopsy is scheduled for two weeks 6/18/2024
