PET scan results

On Wednesday the 9th mom had a PET scan to make absolutely sure there was no other cancer in her body besides the brain. Mom and George picked up the results, but they have not yet been explained by the doctor. There was one finding besides the brain, explained as:

Findings: Within the thorax, there is a 2.5 cm FDG avid hypermetabolic focus seen the left hilar region. This appears to represent a metastatic lymph node. No other FDG avid lesions are seen within the thorax, neck, abdomen, or pelvis.

I have no idea if this means if it is cancerous or some other anomaly, but will be sure to let you know when we have further information on it.

Everything else looked clean, as explained here:

Normal cardiac, hepatic, splenic, urinary tract, bowel and bone marrow activity is seen. Incidental CT findings include evidence of a previous right parietal craniotomy and right atrial and right ventricular pacemaker leads inserted via the left subclavian vein.
