Waiting for diagnosis

I am really confused as I was told there was a small white mass on my ct scan , I have now been referred for a pet scan and a lung function test , does this mean that the ct scan showed cancer ? 

My nurse was just very non committal just said that the pet scan would give a clearer picture of what we are dealing with ? 

Am I right to conclude that it’s cancer or can a ct scan  show something but be inconclusive 

I’m sorry to ask as I know a lot of people on here have already been diagnosed or their family member has but I am just lost at the moment 

thanks 

 

 

  • Hi Yoganster and welcome to the forum.

    Unfortunately no-one here can answer these questions, only your doctor or medical team can so if you make a note and take them with you to your next appointment they will hopefully be able to give you more information but do keep in mind that numerous tests may sometimes need to be carried out before a conclusion can be drawn.

    We'll have our fingers crossed that the mass isn't anything sinistaer Yoganster.

    Kind regards,
