If the PET was done 3 months post Tx then the uptake can be the result of treatment damage and resulting healing. What did they doc that presaented these results to you advise? My first scan post Tx was 3 months and showed some "sreas of concern" but my RO said "not to worry, let's wait another 3 months and do another scan." That showed that the old areas of concern were "gone" but there were new "areas of concern" so we waited another 3 months and FINALLY I got an all clear.
