I wouldn't get really worried if the location for the hot spot was near the primary location of the cancer. If it is somewhere else it needs to be identified as to what it is. Too many times these early PET's are just finding residual inflammation from the treatments and healing. I'm more than a decade out and I get hot PET's all the time, (every 3 years) around my body, none of them related to cancer� I can't count the number of people on this board that got high SUV with an early PET. The false positive rate with them is ridiculous. While I get some doctors desire to do them, many have suggested this is just a money maker for the institution.
