High ferritin levels and anemic

I have been anemic (of inflammation not iron) My ferritin levels are off the chart (5100, normal is 200) My Onco wants to get a PET scan asap because he's pretty sure of progression. My question is, when they took my blood work it was 1 week after radiation. Radiation definitely causes inflammation. Can someone give me some hope? Anyone experience this before. I am a nervous wreck.
