Restaging ovarian cancer stage 3c

Results from Pet scan showed the following: interval improvement in underlying carcinomatosis. Mild abnormal hypermetabolism corresponds to a soft tissue nodule along the antimesenteric boarder of the descending colon on image # 145. No other areas of abnormal hyermetabolism are appreciated within the abdomen, pelvis or retroperitoneum. No ascites is appreciated. This was a full body scan. This was after my second round of 7 carbo taxol. Also it is the best scan I ever had since 2005. Wanted your opinion on it, also should I be worried about the image #145?
Thank you in advance. I always appreciate your imput!

Also, if your CA 125 is normal, I would repeat the CA 125 monthly to make sure it is not rising.
take care
