      No abnormal focal nonphysiologic FDG uptake seen to suggest mestastic disease.

      YAY!!  Thanks for everyone's good thoughts and prayers.

      There was nothing on the PET scan report that discussed the 4 mm lung nodule.  So I am guessing it was still 4 mm and not able to be seen by the PET Scan or it was gone.  Does anyone have an insight on this?

                      When I got my 3 month scan after there were a couple lung spots noted it just breifly mentioned that the spots seen in the last scan are unable to be found now. So, they had disappeared. Sounds like the same happened for you, yay!! (I think if it was still noticeable it would have been mentioned.. if it's not mentioned, it's probably not there)

                              Jenn, Yes that is what I thought also … if they were visible then they would have been noted.  Thank you for your reponse, hope all is well with you!

                                        Sounds like any NED ( no evidence of disease) to me which is fantastic.  Congratulations!
