Re: PET results suspicious for small metastic lesions
I truly understand how difficult this waiting period is.My CT scan in November highlighted several small areas of concern (about 5 in total) in my lungs along with one bigger node. As they were too small to biopsy my onc took the watch and wait aproach and rescaned in January, three months later.The spots and node they were concerned about had resolved but another small one appeared. My onc was convinced that it was due to some inflammation lurking about. My scan also showed the area that had been irradiated.
I have recently had another ct scan and thankfully the new node has now also resolved.
I remember being so depressed over Christmas even wondering if I would make another year! but remembered Bonnie's post about her lung surgery and tried to hang onto the thought that it may be nothing and if that was the case I has spent 3 months ruining my life with worry.
Hang on in there, it may turn out to be nothing at all.
