The PET scan was little changed from the last scan, which is great news. Two lymph nodes that showed elevated SUV in the last scan had none in this scan, and another node that had an SUV of 4.2 in the last scan was 4.0 in this scan. An SUV of 5 or lower is considered physiological, and since that node didn’t increase its SUV over the past two months, it’s not cancer. Therefore, I am still in complete remission. My next PET scan is in December.
