5 month scan

Postby Marie25 » Mon Jul 06, 2020 11:57 am

Still waiting on results of husband's 5 month PET scan... he occasionally has the hiccups when he eats or drinks and last night his arms and legs were itchy(first time it happened and it is already gone) . I know these can be signs of liver mets. His pathology from surgery 5 months ago was stage 2 low rectal cancer and 0 nodes out of 42. His PET scan in march was clear and he was in remission. All This should mean it is unlikely to have come back, right? I am such a wreck waiting for his PET results now.
