Yes, I recently had a PET scan and a biopsy and was told by my doctor that the rectal cancer had returned in my lymph nodes. I start chemotherapy again soon.

Thank you. My sister has been dealing with rectal cancer for 3 years and has never had a PET scan. I think that she should have one. She has had local metastasis.
