So long story short my dad has copd and after a bad chest was referred for a chest X-ray. They found a mass and sent him for a ct scan and the consultant said no he was 99% sure was cancer. Had a pet scan and a follow up before Xmas said it didn’t look like it had spread but they wanted to do a biopsy to see if it was in his nodes. If not then likely would be surgery and no further treatment needed but if in his nodes then probably treatment too. This was before Xmas and they chased this week for the results and an appointment was made with the consultant again for weds next week (just to add the radiographer doing the biopsy said he was baffled as it hadn’t grown and where it was etc he said he was not sure) 

hes now had a letter today for another ct scan at the end of January. Why would they want this after having a pet and biopsy already?
