Hi -
I don't want to worry you, because my outcome was great. Three years after being NED, one of several tiny lung nodules grew. It was barely visible on PET - an uptake of 1.0but my radiologist could tell that it well might be cancer. (I looked at it with him and although subtle, it was slightly brighter than surrounding tissue. We did another CT scan in 2 months, and then I consulted with a thoracic surgeon. He wasn't positive what it was, but we decided to do VATS and remove it. The thinking was a) pretty easy surgery b) if cancer I would be happy to have it out, and 3) if not cancer, then I would be o happy that I wouldn't be worried about the surgery.
Take care,
