Hello. I had a very similar situation. I was IIIb with 2 lymph nodes effected. I completed 12 rounds of Folfox with no real issues except having CDiff twice. I had a clear colonoscopy in December and my first post CT scan in February which showed an enlarged lymph node in my mesentery. I opted for an immediate PET scan which showed two enlarged mesentery lymph nodes with minimal uptake of the dye. My PET stated both nodes had little to no metabolic activity. Tried to do a biopsy but was told they were way too small. My oncologist wants to wait three months and rescan which is in June. He feels it's probably benign but I still worry. My oncologist claimed cancerous nodes will "light up" on a PET. Luckily mine did not. He feels they could be reacting to something else. Hopefully its the same case for you. Take a breath, Good luck and God bless...
