Nelie, Just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you, hoping for everything to come out "all clear". Frankly, if you had surgery 4 weeks prior to the PET scan, I would be IMMENSELY surprised if it did NOT show some new hot spots, i.e., where the surgery is healing. That's what PETs do, they show hypernormal healing/metabolic activity.
Best wishes,
Andrea
