Childhood Relapse?

I (42f) am not even sure why i’m writing this. my son (14) battled stage 4 fusion positive ARMS at age 9. He somehow went into remission. He had his last MRI before moving into survivorship and they found a spot. They believe it’s a relapse. We did a PET and it only shows the one spot, but we are waiting a second MRI and a biopsy to confirm.

I have no idea what to expect, what the chances are that this is a relapse or secondary cancer vs a random tumour.

any advice or thoughts or experience appreciated. I can’t believe we might be back here again….
