Dad is 2 years post LAR, and on his post op scans showed multiple lung nodules. Been tracking them since, but in the latest scan (6 month interval) - shows significant growth. Its 27mm now from 15mm last time (was stable for prior 3 scans) and PET showed no uptake.
Appointment on Sunday with Onc, I just am so scared and angry and lost. If you see my history of posts I was worried about this situation, but every doctor reassured me these spots are probably nothing. I feel so broken right now, holding back my tears so hard. He lives with mom and brother an hour from me, but i went to all his appointments, emergency admissions, surgeries and the last 18 months was such a relief after hard times. I think i am having major PTSD to the extent i cant breath
What should I ask the Doc ? Needle Biopsy/ PET/CT, if nodule too big for VATS ?
