PET scan shows nodules in lungs
My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in October,2013. Right breast was removed followed by chemotherapy and radition therapy. This entire treatment was done in Vijayawada from October,2013 to July,2014. Now there are no complaints for my mother except cough with flum in the morning after she wakes up. Recently 10 days back, whole body PET CT scan was done. It shows sub centimetre nodules are found in lungs. In 2015, mother got early stage of T.B. In 2016, due to stomach ache , gall bladder was removed. Now we need a guidance in a right direction by a good doctor.
Thanks n regards

Hi please visit a pulmonologist soon..
We may need to prove those nodules are TB or cancerous. You did not mention the SUV uptake of the nodule. Perhaps sharing the PET CT report shall help more.
