Remember that the PET will pick up lots of things besides cancer, specifically areas that are metabolizing sugars more than the rest of your body. Sometimes in areas where healing is taking place, especially so close to treatment as you are, you MIGHT show something positive there which is not cancer. This will of course need to be explored further, and will make your nerves and blood pressure numbers shambles. Hopefully they will give you a PET/CT fusion scan which is significantly more accurate than the PET alone. Best wishes for no surprises........
