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.
Yes me.
hot spot on 16 week PET/CT at original tumour site
Biopsied a week later. All clear 5 days later

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.
