Questions about my mom's PET CT

Discussion Topic
General Lung/Thoracic Cancer

My mom had her PET CT done after an xray and two CT's had seen a suspicious nodule which then became two nodules (only one suspicious). Here are the findings. We see the oncologist on the 1st but my fear is this had spread to hear brain and I dint know if they checked or not. She's been complaining of severe headaches for months now and the eye doctor said it's not because if her glaucoma. Can you please help me make sense if this report before we go in so I'm prepared and can be of better support for my mom and know what questions to ask. I've included the whole report.

I joined GRACE as a caregiver for my husband who had a Pancoast tumor, NSCLC stage III in 2009. He had curative chemo/rads then it was believed he had a recurrence in the spine/oligometastasis that was radiated. He's 10 years out from treatment.

GRACE Patient Perspectives: Clinical Trials Experiences Storytelling Program Overview

 

Ischial body

Discussion Topic
Multiple Myeloma

Recently had the 18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18 F-FDG) PET/CT scan done, whole body. I had a few nodes in my saliva glands, but in addition, the other abnormality is Unilateral Ischium Body SUV of 4.6. The report does not state the size, so would that indicated the ‘whole left’ ischial body is affected? The SUV 4.6 is elevated for that small bone.
I have had positive Bence Jones blood and urine proteins and positive protein electrophoresis with no M spike. I have very intractable symptoms of bone pain, lower abdomen pain and exhaustion.
