Lisa,

On one of my PET's my thyroid lit up. Whenever there is fast growing cells, it will light up. Thyroid is one of them. And then inflammation and infection can also light up. If you had some spots in the surgery area, probably it's changes from surgery and your body trying to heal. I also had some spots on my shoulder that lit up. Then bone scan was negative. Even a PET can not say for sure if there is cancer there. Don't worry. Let the Dr's decide if it is something that needs further looking into! I will pray that it will turn out ok
