Just heard from my R/O that CT scan clear. It is my understanding that the CT scan is more detailed than the PET scan, is that correct. She did say that 2 lymph nodes are still enlarged, is this a common occurance after radiation. The good news seems to be no cancer showing. Great Christmas present.
