    Has anyone had a biopsy of what was believed to be scar tissue after treatment? If so, did it really turn out to be scar tissue?

      scar tissue

      I've had 2 biopsies of scar tissue.  One was done when it lit up on a PET scan done only 2 months after treatment ended.  The other one was done after a PET scan showed a different area lighting up a little more than it had before.  The second biopsy was a year after treatment ended.  And it really was scar tissue both times.

      it's hard for them to determine

      Good luck with the biopsy. Much better safe than sorry.

      Sincerely,

      Sandy
