So today I got my 6 month post treatment scan result and it wasn't great but wasn't horrible.

My 3 month scan had 5 hypermetabolic activity spots, and on the 6 months scan only one was still there, but it was unchanged, so that's good news. Also appears as though the 1 mm nodule in my lung is gone as well.

My question is about this though.
They found new borderline hypermetabolic activity in the soft tissue of the right hemimandible.

I am trying to figure out where this soft tissue would be and what exactly the right hemimandible is. I know mandible is your lower jaw, and when i looked up hemimandible, it said that the mandible is made up of 2 hemimandibles, which would make sense, cuz hemi in medical terms is half, but i just want to make sure i am right in thinking that means it is on soft tissue on the right side of my lower jaw then.

Any help would be appreciated, i just want to make sure i know where they are talking about, laugh
