Clean PET, but MRI still shows mass??
So I just got back my official results....
December 2005 Results

Brain MRI - clear
Chest X-Ray - clear
Spine MRI - tumors on T7, T8, S1, L1
Bone Scan - tumors on right femural neck, left clavical, 3 areas on spine
March 2006 Results
PET/CT Scan - clear
May 2006 Results
PET/CT Scan - clear
August 2006 Results
Liver MRI - 1.3 cm lesion is a dimished liver met. It was 3.2 cm.
PET/CT Scan - clear
What is the deal with having a very small lesion that doesn't show up on PET? Is it scar tissue or just a small MET that doesn't show up on PET because it's too small? Am I clear enough to have to remain on Herceptin alone or start chemo again? I am baffled! Any advice would be SO helpful!
Thanks Ladies!
