2 consecutive PEC two different results
My husband was diagnosed with tonsil cancer bone e metastasis due to HVP16 positive 6 months ago. After 4 rounds of chemotherapy and immunotherapy a second PEC showed significant progression of FDG avid tumors. 3 months later and after 3 additional immunotherapy treatments ( not yet done) a 3rd PEC showed significant regression. Not sure what to make of it since we were very optimistic after the second PEC and now we are very concerned. We still haven’t seem the doctor to discuss the results of the 3 rd PEC. Any guidance will be appreciated

Hi @ymorfa
I think you meant PET and not PEC in your message.
I might be misunderstanding this, but didn't the third PET show regression of the tumor, and isn't that a good thing? Hopefully, you'll get your answers soon. Waiting for them can be torturous.
@56tburd correct second PET showed a significant regression but the 3rd PET done about 3 month after showed significant progression the opposite we are so confused still waiting to talk to the doctor in 2 days
@roblem correct thank you for the correction
