Low volume Oligo-metastatic/progressive Disease.

Hi @Aska, I had a PET scan only because I had a fracture in January in my spine and ongoing monitoring via an mri. Most of my mri's were clear until my last one in June when a suspicious spot appeared where the fracture was.
My 2020 diagnosis was early breast cancer, no lymph involvement ER and PR + and Her2-. I had surgery, chemo and radium at that time. I had grade 3 cells but at that time I was stage 1. I had been going along really well until this bump in the road. My spread was not via lymph but through the blood. Amazing really given all my initial treatment but here I am.
PET scans aren't generally done unless absolutely necessary eg if there is evidence of a symptom like my fracture.
Best wishes to you for your future.
