I finally got the results of my 20 month post-transplant PET scan - mostly clear, although the hot spot on my shin is still there. It showed up last fall, and after a long series of biopsies, tissue removal, tests and re-tests, they determined that even though it had some lymphocyte cells (what they look for in lymphoma masses) they were insufficient for a positive result. That spot on my shin aches a lot, and I get muscle spasms in that area, so I have no idea what it is, but since it doesn't appear to be getting worse, and other hot spots aren't appearing elsewhere, I guess I'll just think of it as an anomaly for now.
My next test is in Oct. and there will be quite a few, since that will be the 2-year post-transplant milestone evaluation, and it's considered significant.
