Have you had a chance to discuss the increase in standardized uptake value (SUV) with your cancer team? What did you find out?

Hi @colleenyoung, I asked this question in this forum almost 2 years ago. The doctor had mentioned that this was not scar tissue but progression and had changed my mom's medicines to Capacetabine and Lapatinib. Thank you all for your responses. Appreciate your help and support.
