I would definately think that this is just precautionary as she said. It's always good at the end of treatment to make sure there's nothing else out there or developed before they send you on your merry way, your oncologist is just being cautious which is good. The only "reason" I could see other than that would be the fact that you had 2 tumors originally and they want to make sure that nothing else has popped up. From someone who has had more pet scans than you can shake a stick at, be ready for all sorts of "non cancer" things to show up. I've always had something, nodules, a couple of times my ovaries have lit up and it's been nothing. It's good to have a base to show what is normal for you, so that if needed in the future they can see if something is abnormal...sherry
