Ana,

When I went for my original PET, my neck nodes lit up like a Christmas tree on both sides, to the extent that my surgeon planned to remove ALL neck nodes (over 200). Turned out that all were soft, so he only removed selected and tested and all were negative. No-one knows why, which sucks because presumably on my follow up, we will have a similar issue, and it will always be a question.

Good luck to you and Vince.
