Close Anonymous Unfriend Friend Requested Friend Load More Close Destination Page Area Group Destination Content Title Title Article Type Copy comments My mother has had COPD for 11 years and had a bad "flareup" last year which put her in the hospital and on oxygen 24/7 for the first time. While she was there she had a CT scan which showed a "lesion" show up on her lung. She is 85 and did not want to have PET scan done. Now it is 1 year later and she is still on oxygen 24/7 . Her pulmonologist told her today that she is expelling carbon dioxide well and he thinks the " shadow" is most likely malignant. My mom still chooses to not have a PET scan. She is actually doing pretty well except for getting tired after a full day and her breathing is a bit worse. Is it possible this could be something else less serious?
