Donna -

Keep in mind that these reports are written in a way so that they can be viewed as having mentioned even the remotest possible issue, due to liability concerns. I got a copy of my first post-treatment PET report before I went to the doctor to review the results, and I damn near had a heart attack. Two nodes "concerning for metastatic disease". Now when I went to the doctors, they practically laughed it off.

Now, some 18 months and 2 PET scans later, I have learned to leave the interpretation to the professionals. If my doctors are happy, I am happy. Period. Hope all continues to go well.
