Maybe: It will really depend on what the scans show and the details of your prior cancer history. On the surface it seemsllikely.

What for results: Wait and get all of the information before deciding on a biopsy. Having a biopsy in this area does have some risk. You want to make sure the it is worth the risk of having the biopsy. Wait and see what the pet scan shows.
