Petscan result.

zohra

Hello everyone,

Thanks for reading my post.

My mom had cancer stage IIIB.

She done with treatment almost two years ago.

She had chemo , BMX and radiation.

She is visiting her oncologist every six month. Recently, she had petscan.

The pet scan showing there is new hypermentabolic focus localized to focal prominence along freight infraspinatus muscle Mariam SUV 4.3.

The oncologist prefer MRI to make sure about result.

Can had experience with that kind of result?

Any information would be helpful.

Me and my mom have fear for recurrence.

Sincerely

Zohra

Zohara - sorry I don't know about your Mom's specific data. But I have had a number of PET/CT scans. The "hotspots" light up and then you need an MRI or CT to look at the details. In two cases, things that lit up on my scan were 'artifacts' and not cancer. Hope it is not a recurrence.
