Broncoscopy Or Pet Scan

My 67 yr old mother had Broncoscopy done in which Brush Cystology and TBLB samples were taken... We will get report in 10 days.. But the doctor also asked us to do PET Scan.. They are suspecting ? Scar Carcinoma My question is can't we wait for this result before getting a Pet Scan? If the result of this sample is normal then still do we need to get a Pet Scan done? Please help 🙏 Reply Symptoms: only mild dry cough since one year after recovering from covid pneumonia, nothing else I'm attaching the CT scan report here

D dimer level 0.3 ugFEU/ml at 24 age

So i had a very minor injury on my shin few days ago and before the injury i had few episodes of constant spasms near the calf muscle which eventually disappeared, but recently i took a flight after the flight i had a sharp pair below the shoulder in the left upper chest, so after reading on internet i thought i have pulmonary embolism, i took a d dimer test in morning, the result came back as 0.3 ugFEU/ml, is this serious?

Pet scan or Biopsy results

I have a very simple question.. A case of ? scar carcinoma has been suspected in woman 67 yr old.. Both brush cytology and biopsy sample were taken by nose broncoscopy.. And Pet Scan was also asked to be done.. Should I wait for the biopsy results and then go for pet scan or should I do it now only before the previous test results are out? Which will benefit me more in my disease diagnosis?

Which one first?

Please Reply.. should I wait for the result of Broncoscopy before getting a Pet Scan or should I go for it anyways? What if the Broncoscopy test results are all normal then wouldn't Pet Scan become absolutely unnecessary exposure to radiation? I'm confused.. please reply..

Symptoms: nothing, just a very mild dry cough sometimes daily
