Hi all had my first review today Dr was pleased but said she can't say I'm cancer free as scans picked up something which she says could be scar tissue.  I'm having another scan and possibly bi opsie anyone else had this after first review. 

  • Hi Bradlou, it is quite common for scar tissue to raise issues, in most cases this is all it is and not a reoccurrence but its always best to be on the safe side hence the biopsy and scan. All the best .

    This happened to me as well, as I had  what my consultant called an indeterminate amount of take up on the PET scan, however he did not biopsy as he said when he looked with the camera all looked ok. I have had another MRI in between and I’m back to see him on Monday for an eight week check. Fingers crossed
