Cooking,
You have gotten a lot of great words. I will tell you your story sounds like mine. I had surgery with clear margins, and another lump 3 months after a clear PET scan. Unfortunately my new lump was cancer. I am now in remission and been told that my prognosis is really good because I was blasted with rads and chemo. We also caught them very early. You will be fine. Let us know how your PET scan turns out.
