My whole family has been dealing with a viral cold and flu. Now my mom's got it too, and she's dealing with a blocked nose and body aches. Her PET scan is scheduled for tomorrow to check if the lung tumor and nodules are active. Is it a good idea to take her for the scan while she's feeling like this, or should we think about rescheduling?

I've been trying to make sense of something after a recent CT scan. It showed a large lymph node mass that's partially encasing some major blood vessels around my kidneys and pancreas. About two years ago, my doctor said it was linked to tuberculosis, so I took medicine for over a year, but the lymph node only got a little bigger. Do you have any idea why that's happening? Also, I've gained about 10kg in just two months and I'm kind of concerned. Is treatment for this really necessary, or should I just leave it as is? Any thoughts on why the weight gain could be happening?
