PET/CT Results
After waiting for what seemed an enternity for my test results I finally found out that my PET/CT scan is fine. Only thing that showed up was a soft tissue density within the right axilla. Had the same thing show up on my August PET and at that time it measured 2.8 x 2 cm. Now it measures 2 x 1.5 cm. Report says that the degree of uptake favors a benign process. I was told back in August that it was nothing to worry about and was probably due to the radiation. At any rate, it is getting smaller.
