Don't finish treatment without a PET scan--that's how you will know what that lesion on your adrenal gland actually is. It could just be a cyst that has been there for YEARS!
I'm doing the happy dance with you!

Cancer cells 'light up' on a PET scan, providing a fairly accurate diagnosis of whether your tumor is benign or cancerous. There is also a CT/PET fusion scan that lays the PET scan results over a CT scan. PET scans are something like 97% accurate at showing if a tumor is cancerous for tumors larger than 1cm. For tumors or spots smaller than 1 cm (about 1/2"), there is a greater % of false positives and false negatives on a PET, so they may not be ordering one if your spots are smaller than 1 cm.
WONDERFUL news and I would embrace it and believe in it and CELEBRATE it!0
