Hi everyone,
Just received an email from my oncologist regarding my PET scan results. The PET shows that there is an area of uptake in the right lung and on the right chest wall. They cannot tell conclusively whether this is tumor, radiation or some other type of inflammation. The doctor went back to the CT scan done in February and could no see a corresponding area on the CT. The dr. asked me if I have had pneumonia, flu, or any sort of respiratory infection recently. Which I have not.
So I have emailed my dr. back to see if there is any other test that could be done. I have also asked him to fax me the results. What other questions should I be asking? Have any of you had a PET scan that they could not tell what is going on?
Best wishes,
Dee
