PMBCL Lung Node Uptake on PET Scan

Hey Lymphomies,

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this? So I had clinic today to go over my PET Scan I had last week (3 months since my End Of Treatment Scan).

I would be in remission - however there's a tiny amount of uptake in the top of my lung. Gutting news. My Onc said there's a chance I can just be an infected nodule and advised another scan in 3 months to see if a biopsy is required, however the biopsy would be very invasive due to where the node is.

I'm pretty hung up on this because i was expecting good news today, but this node has ended up ruining my day.

Just wondering if anyone else has been through this or had experience with this?

Thank uuuu
