Re: Spot on lungs found on PET - nurse says dont lose any sleep!!!

Sarah, she did mention something about radiation causing a little inflammation and i do have shortness of breath but thought maybe i was gaining weight. But she said this spot was showing metabolic activity. Is that the PET more than CT scan? I thought if it glows.... it is cancerous activitie. This scan was scary to me because my last herceptin treatment was in May, sort of comforted when I was getting it every 3 weeks. I was focused on my little Layten Joshua all weekend and now he is laid to rest...I have time to ponder about this. I think I need to jsut try to let go of worry.. worry will not change the results just dont want cancer to grow. it did that to me at the beginning.... i.e. clean mammogram and 3 months later stage 3C breast cancer. I am going to find someting positive to focus on for the next month. I took up a new part time business.. Selling Scentsy products so I will try to get that off the ground ....still scary but it i keep busy maybe no time to think so hard. I feel fine, not sick etc... but most of us were not feeling bad at our time of diagnosis. keep my family.. especailly my daughter in your prayers. ThankYou all for the wonderful support we know we can find on this board.
