Hi Amy I haven't updated my wife's situation in a little while but we had scans at the 3 month mark after chemo and the pet showed activity in the lungs had increased along with some chest nodes. The onc got a biopsy done to clarify as she suggested it could be a number of things including sarcoidosis which is an immune disease that can affect the lungs and some nodes and can be treated with steroids. The results on Christmas Eve proved that it was sarcoidosis , possibly meaning that the lungs had not been affected from the outset as previously thought with the possibility that the first scans post chemo showed improvement in this area because some of the treatment drugs contain steroids.
