Hi
Just wanted to post how helpful this forum is.In June my brother had a PET SCAN.It came back suspicious in throat and lungs.They did 3 biopsies in throat and gave him a course of antibiotic for the lungs to see if it will clear hoping that it was just an infection in lungs.Of course it was stressful to think that he could have a recurrence so soon after finishing treatment.Well it was helpful to see in forum that often the PET SCAN gave false positive.I kept repeating it to my brother and the family over and over until we got the results back and we were very lucky because when the results came back it was indeed a false positive!
Thank you for the informations!
