Hiya, was just wondering if anyone else had this and if so what happened?? Finished my chemo on 13th June, was pet negative on my interim pet scan can't remember the deauville score think it was 4. Had my final scan and consultant just said scan was good see you in January....which was excellent  but whilst I was chatting with my gp he said I'd had a deaville score of 2 on my last scan!!?? So does this mean I still have a bit of hodgkins left in me?? My doctor didn't know and I'm now starting to get paranoid and I really don't want to have to go to the hospital so was hoping someone on here knew. Many thanks.

  • Hi,

    I don’t know that much about Deauville scores but I think it’s compared with the liver (which is a very busy and hard working organ) and a score of 3 or less is regarded as being pretty good, certainly I understand that a score of 2 is considered a remission. 
    Will have a read up and if I’m wrong I will post again!

    but I think your 2 is considered good!

  • Have just had a read, and yes a score of 1 or 2 is considered a remission, 3 might be a borderline, but needs comparing carefully.

    Thanks for answering that has put my mind at ease. I dare not Google anything myself made that mistake at the start of my journey and terrified myself unnesiceraly. Thankyou very much moomy xxx

  • You’re sensible not to google! I’ve a good bit of knowledge as I worked in the NHS as an OT so know how and where to look things up; but I can still spook myself!

  • Yes Deauville 1-3 are generally considered PET-Negative at interim scan, and 1-2 at final scan.

    Surprised your consultant couldn't answer those questions, especially as each case is very different.

    There is often some residue left at end of treatment, and they don't know for absolute sure that there is some lymphoma left, they can never say that in anyone's case. But Deauville 2 is good.
