Hey guys thanks for responding - I think I didn't make it quite clear in my original post. This was the post-surgery, pre-treatment PET scan. Dan is still undergoing treatment - he's got about 2 weeks left.

I am of course still going to call the doc, but my assumption is that since there are so many things thta can cause that "reading" - that perhaps that is why they didn't bother to tell us. I don't know, but I am slightly miffed to have not been told. I am very detail oriented and like to understand fully what we are facing.

Again thanks for responding.
