Hey chetan! Hopefully everything will be all clear next time around! it's scary to get a result like that - I'm curious because you said it was a ct - was it a ct or a pet? Here they don't use pets very often I think because of the false positives. I'm of two minds about them I think that maybe a year out it's not a bad thing to have one but too early and you're still healing that's when you may have a false positive. Try not to worry. Both machine tend to light up inflammation, infection and cancer... That being the case listen to Eric and sandy... And try not to worry. Some Drs. Can tell by location too. I had a node light up on the opposite side of my cancer - on my - baseline scan post op - they rewrote my plan to include that side in the radiation even though it could have been inflammation or infection (id been in Mexico for a week 5 days prior to the scan!) worried, I talked to my surgeon as well - (frankly I had an issue with my RO not catching the node - I had to ask him about the results and he was non committal - as in - if there was anything to note I would have!!! Then the next day he changes my plan because he actually looked at the scan!!!!!!!!) Anyway my SO said based on the location of the node it's highly unlikely that it was cancerous. I guess they are good at guestimating where it's gonna travel! If you're dr. Isn't worried yet then try not to be. Hugs!! You'll get through this.
