I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Melanoma (in a lymph node under my right arm) with unknown primary in December 2019. I had 12 months of immunotherapy and had my regular 3 month/ 6 month skin checks and scans for the next 2 years up until this month. All was clear until my 6 monthly CT scan on 1st December. The radiologist report (and the scan images) reported/showed a 7.5mm lesion on my right lung. My oncologist said it looked suspicious/cancerous due to the shape and colour and immediately sent me for a full body CT/PET scan. I saw my oncologist yesterday for the results of the CT/PET scan and although he had not received the radiologists report he could access all the images from both the PET and CT scan. The PET scan showed NO highlighted/glowing regions in my right lung of anywhere else in my body. My CT scan showed NO lesion on my right lung - the oncologist could not find the previously reported/shown lesion on my lung. So I am extremely confused. He did say he wasn't a radiologist but had seen thousands of scans and I'm sure he wouldn't tell me they were clear if there was a possibility that they were not. Has anybody else had a report of something suspicious which, in closed followed up scans, has disappeared. I really don't know what to think. If the lesion has disappeared in less than a week what was it in the first place or somehow has my oncologist failed to find it - something I'm pretty sure he would not do and give me false hope.
