[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Oncologist said the nodes are not showing up on the PET scan, and are below the size threshold to do anything. I have multiple enlarged lymph nodes....some in my pelvis, and some in my lungs. I figure as long as they are not metabolically active, I am probably ok. Next scan are in 6 weeks. I do not think I have mono, has I had it back in 1992-1993. [/quote] If they are in more than one area, that usually means infection like mono. But I'm confused about the "metabolically active" part. Doesn't that include infection other than cancer? It could be something like Lyme disease, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. Or maybe because you are fighting cancer now, the lymph nodes are just more active in general?[/quote]
