MRI After PET Scan

I'm feeling worried as I had colon cancer last year which was removed with curative LAR. I had all clear markers on my histology report. On my yearly CT surveillance a 7mm nodule was picked up on my lung as being suspicious. I was sent for a PET Scan which has now added suspicious activity on my liver as well, I am now having an MRI on Sunday to hopefully get more information on this. Would cancer not be obvious on the PET Scan?

  • Hi awayann,

    I just wanted to send a reply to note that as you have also posted this in the 'Ask the Nurses' section of this forum, you'll receive a reply from one of our nurses when they are back after the bank holiday (their hours are Monday-Friday, 9-5pm, excluding bank holidays).

    It sounds like you had your appointment yesterday, so hopefully you also now have some more information.

    Wishing you all the best,
