Nothing showed up on the Pet except my neck but Moffitt wanted to find my primary and thought they had a pretty good chance after studying the computer images of my scope. My surgeon told me he wasn't going to stop until he found it so I'm way glad he found at his first stop. I was told that with an Occult Primary they would have had to modify my radiation to cover more areas and since they hit me with the max that would have meant targeting potentially unnecessary areas.
