Hi @sallik74 - the largest tumor of my colorectal cancer was at the cecum. Just for other readers' benefit, according to https://radiologyinplainenglish.com/what-is-suv-on-pet-scan/ , "SUV values greater then 2.5 raise concern for cancer although inflamed or infected tissues can also be above 2.5. Cancerous tissues can also have SUVs less then 2.5. A higher SUV is more concerning for cancer. But it’s important to remember that a high SUV value does not give us a diagnosis of cancer or anything else by itself. High SUV simply alerts us to a potential abnormality. The radiologist interpreting the scan will use all available information to arrive at the correct diagnosis."

What was your SUV uptake?
How was your surgery preformed?
I'm so nervous as I also have smoldering multiple myeloma since last September.
