Hi...not sure where to post this question. I had stage 2a lung cancer and a lobectomy of the upper left quadrant. 4 rounds of chemo ended Aug of 2022.
Just had PET after 18 months (original was right before lobectomy) and comment on test said "noted new focus on hypermetabolism involving the vulva/vaginal canal. What does that mean? Seeing GY next Tuesday but hoped to see if anyone knows of this?

Hi @mcrowe2360, you may wish to join the discussions in the Lung Cancer group here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/lung-cancer/

I will be interested to hear what you learn at your appointment on Tuesday with the GYN. Just keep in mind that not everything that is hypermetabolic is cancer.
