I went for my PET scan results today and my doc says everything is clear but she wants to "watch" the two lymph nodes on my chest wall in front of my heart. She has called some of her other doctors at KU Med and we are going to do another test in 4 weeks and everyone agreed to continue the same regime I've been doing. I am wondering if anyone else has had this happen. I am worried and can't imagine waiting/worrying for a month!

Thank you.

    I have had abnormalities in my chest wall that were most peculiar...but, "went away."

    That's not really an answer...but, in a way, it is.

    Unusual mass on my brachial plexis...it "self-resolved."

    My best understanding is that if we scanned "ordinary" people at the mall, we would find remarkable unexplainable structures, etc. in their bodies.  (The reason why scanning is not recommended as a general screening...we'd be investigating oddities that are "meaningless" for days.)

    I'm sorry for the worry.  It sucks.  My sympathies.

    Thank you TammyLou. It makes sense that could be the case. I think for now that is what I will focus on. I know it could be otherwise but it is much easier to remain-or try to-positive.

    sincerest thanks.
