Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. If PET scan is showing hot spots means, the uptake of contrast is high in nodules. And high uptake is seen in1. Infections2. Cancer. Nodules are more common in cancer, so possibility of malignancy is more in your case. And chemotherapy is needed in your case. But you need to consult oncologist first. So consult oncologist and discuss chemotherapy options.
