PET scan highlighted an area in my chest
I had my last pet scan in November 2019 that showed that all lymphomas had gone, which was fantastic after 6 rounds of chemo. The only thing it did show was a highlighted area in my chest. The doctor does not think it is lymphoma but a chest infection, but with the bushfires and smoke around my chest gets tight. The trouble with a petscan they can show false/positive readings. Before I got diagnosed with lymphoma in August 2019 I was in hospital with pneumonia, could this be it again. I dont know what to think. The cancer doctor doesnt think it is, my GP last time just said it was a virus and brushed it off but it became serious.
I would appreciate some advice.

Hi debbiev,
At the very least, I would get a second opinion from a different GP, just to put my mind at rest. There's no harm in checking again.
All the best
