I have a rare type of Ovarian Cancer. When I did my first PET scan, the lymph nodes in my mediastinum showed up in the scan which indicated my cancer had spread there. I went through the whole chemo treatment after surgery. After the treatment, they did a new PET and those 5 lymph nodes, although smaller in size, were still showing up. However, this time the tecs had some doubts around this being due to cancer which led my doctor send me for a bronchoscopy to perform a biopsy. Turns out, I had nothing in those lymph nodes (not even a virus or something similar, pathology showed they were completely healthy). So my questions are: why do they keep showing up in the PET scan? And why just those 5 lymph nodes show up and not others? I have asked my doctors but they never give me clear answers. Anyone here that can shed a bit of light? Thanks a lot for these videos by the way
