      Hi Wendy,

      I’ll be sending out good thougths for your husband and hope the scan will be clear other than benign beasties. I have been five years NED at stage III but my PET scans show benign beasties every time I’ve gotten them (lungs, liver, and a variety of other places). It’s very common for benign issues to show up on scans although I know they can be unnerving. Regards, Carver
