Damien's PET Scan Case Study
Damien was seen today following his PET scan to assess the significance of the new nodule in the setting of stability of his other right lower lobe nodules. Pleasingly, the PET scan was negative and there were the previously seen right lower lobe nodules, the largest of which was 7mm and reassuringly the previously ill-defined defined soft tissue opacity of 11mm x 14mm x 10mm was seen suggesting resolution of this.
As a precaution, we will organise a CT scan in three months' which I will discuss with Damien at his next appointment.
Damien's main concern is his unrefreshing sleep. His wife is clearly describing snoring and witnessed apnoea and we have discussed the likely diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnoea. This is possibly contributing
