I received PET scan results today

My oncologist said my PET scan was clear. However, the radiologist did say there were 2 tiny nodules one each at the bottom of each lung. Nothing to worry about. My oncologist said I would be having a CT scan done in 4 months and he'll take another look. So, I'm satisfied that it was good news. Better to safe then sorry, eh! My 2nd chemo went well. I'm feeling ok. Tomorrow is the Neulasta shot and he told me I could start taking extra strength Tylenol sooner than later.

    SO so so so happy for your good news! I am grinning ear to ear just knowing that your Drs are not worried! YAY! By all means, take the Tylenol; the Neulasta did such an ugly number on me~ I only wish my Dr had told me there was something I could take for it! But he never did...wah! I suffered for 5 months...grrrrr!
    Congratulations on your good news~ we rejoice with and for you!

    Very happy for you, I know this has been a long, difficult wait. The news however, made it worth the waiting! Now you can continue to move forward, with your mind a little more at ease. Congratulations!

    GREAT NEWS!
    I'm really happy for you! I'm sure the nodules on the lungs are nothing. Seems once you've gone through cancer treatment radiologist seem to find every freakin' little thing and have to tell you about it! LOL. Those spots may have always been there, part of the unique you! Don't let it bother you:)

    Blessings,

    awesome news. my friend had
    awesome news. my friend had a nodule on her pet, they even biopsied it and it was nothing. as we age we get these things, my surgeon even laughed about it saying if we all had CT scasns these things would show up. I guess it makes sense as we age we get bumps and freckles on the outside, so it must be like that on the inside too.!!!

    Happy News!
    Char, so glad to read that your PET was clear, and the nodules not worrying. Thank you for sharing your good results. Hope that the Tylenol does the trick with the Nulasta shot. (Claritin before and for a few days after the shot can also help.)

    So happy for the good
    So happy for the good news!!!!!!!! I agree about the nodules, as others have said. I had 4 in my chest cavity and one on my liver and after biopsy of chest ones and MRI of liver, they were as carkris says, things on the inside that we have ( with age? ) LOL> Come on!
    But seriously they were all okay and I hope yours are as well.
    Hugs and more hugs,

    Hi Chenheart
    Remember me, ilferro1 or perhaps it was ireneingeorgia in 2006 while on CSN.
    I understand you are undergoing more treatments. I pray for you and all our sisters.

    I went for my 4 year check up and unfortunately, didn't get the news I'd hoped for.
    One really good thing was that the PET was clear. However, breast cancer mets are directly in the middle of my chest. Scars from previous surgeries showing signs of trouble too. So I guess, here we go again, this nasty beast needs to go! Going to try and enjoy the next week or two before all hell breaks loose!

    Hope you're great! You always were.
