See below: Discuss the results with your doctor and determine a plan for follow up; we often find lesions/nodules on scans which may be benign and will require follow up scans to follow change on scans. A pet scan is the next step to determine if it is suspicious enough to warrant a biopsy; but lesions.

B iopsy: An axillary biopsy will definitively evaluate for cancer. The lung nodule is too small to do a pet scan and may need radiographic f/u in 4-6 mo.
