Hey Y'all,
I haven't been on the Forum in quite some time. I recently went in for my 5 year scans. Unfortunately, I got a Positive PET for Base of the tongue. I don't think I have any symptoms for recurrence but I realize that due to the location it would be hard to notice. Also, it was only two weeks ago that I met with the ENT and she didn't see anything to be concerned about. Because of the Positive PET I'm going back in to see the ENT Doc on Tuesday. This has me pretty concerned. Has anyone here had an experience with a False Positive Pet Scan in the base of the tongue?
