Susan I had a pet that showed a hot spot too and almost stopped my tongue suregery and neck dissection. It was a false positive. They thought maybe lung cancer along with OC. I have had a few pets since but have not much faith in them.

Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.
