        Thank you Ed. I came across lots of articles but didn’t see this one. ????
        I wonder what my oncologist will suggest.  I don’t know him much as a doctor. I don’t know if I trust him yet with my life. Scary thought.
        I spoke his his PA after PET scan results were read and she was pretty adamant that is was bad news. I kept asking about pseudo progression or inflammation but she was insistent that even my oncologist looked at the scan and thought it was cancer back. I like doctor who keeps your hopes up to instead of crashing them. In what point he will say I should not hope and give up?  My onco surgeon said it could be inflammation. He is the one who knows my father and my family. I only can imagine how often people give up because they didn’t get support at the right time.
        I wonder though about my other spots close to primary site in my groin and pelvis. They lighted up on a scan too.
        Are they granuloma/sarcoidosis or what?
        I had my scan before New Years and only talked to PA who brought bad news and pulmonologist who brought good news with results of biopsy. Next appointment is on Friday.
