Scar tissue
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.

Thank you for the reassurance Janet. I am awaiting the results from my biopsy.
