I just had pet/ct scan yesterday after 2 months of stopping Navelbine. The scan makes me little worried as it shows muliple small mediastinal lymph nodes with mild FDG uptake. Originally in august I had these nodes intensely litup in the pet and with one month of navelbine and herceptin they totally disappeared. My onc said nothing to be concerned and she wants to do another scan in two months. I am just on weekly herceptin. Anybody has any clue or experience with mild uptake?

thanks,
Julie
