Hi Pat:

I will pray, pray, pray that what you are experiencing is indeed a false positive. Hopefully, it is the bone infection that showed on the PET scan. Sounds like you heard all the negative things, but there is always hope for something else. It has happened to others, so maybe yours won't be as bad as you heard. I'm sure others will post messages too that will help you feel better.
