Hello,

I remember when I had my pet scan after all the initial treatment the areas where I had surgery lit up and the dr said it was inflamation. The areas included my left breast/chest area, arm pit and my left clavicle where I had a positive lymph node. When scanned after 6 months it was clean.
I hope someone else will chime in with more information.

I'll be thinking of her And wishing her all the best!!!
