Dear Charlotte

I agree with what everyone else said but I want to add that although your local (breast/chest) results are less than stellar, the PET did show NED everywhere else.

This is a true blessing in that it has not spread outside the local region and you do not have distant mets. This is very, very good news. At least now, you can focus on the chest/skin etc. Get yourself somewhere to see what your next steps should be to get rid of it for good.

Good news that your PET was clean everywhere else.
