Specializes in Medical Oncology

Not normal but: ..Non specific. Any physical findings? Anything else on the scan? Abnormal labs? Your doc may order additional tests like a pet scan or a biopsy or may opt to take a watchful approach depending on the circumstances. Make sure he/she goes over the rationale of his strategy with you. Best to you.
