Scar tissue can be painful and cause issues after going thru treatments. PET scans are known for false positives so dont get too upset about the results. False positives very common. A biopsy will tell whats happening. There are several members here who have had radiation twice. A second opinion at a cancer center would be a very good plan if it would turn out to be cancer again.
Best wishes!
