Hello I am writing to ask about a condition my husband seems to have reoccuring every fall winter. Last year I took him in to the er for chest pain and weakness they told me it was lukemia so we made an appointment with the oncology clinic here in town he went for regular appointments for about 2 mnths and after numerous tests including cat scans and what i belive was called a pet scan his stomach,heart and lungs lit up they told us he had fluid around his heart and lungs which cleared up out of the blue one day again this fall he is showing some of the same signs as last year the doctor he was seeing told us that he didnt see a reason to come back in but im very concerned that this mystery is something serious that they are overlooking I would like to include that the diagnosis bounced from lukemia to some form of cancer of the heart they wouldnt of been able to cure him of thank you for reading this and i hope that i hear from someone soon thank you and god bless

from the details given, leukemia diagnosis is less likely. no leukemia will got treatment over in two months. no bone marrow like investigation told. PET is normally not done for leukemia. if he was on treatment from an oncologist, he might be having some solid tumor/ malignancy. let the oncologist evaluate him to rule out relapse.
