With all the PET/CT controvery, it does make you question things, but I think a big difference comes when those reading the scans do it all day every day and can differenciate the results. Bill has had several ordered(at a CCC)since the end of treatment which are read immediately by the docs and then later by the radiologists and he has never had a report of a false positive..not even a mention of what it might be. So, we have a peace about it as well.
Wonderful news for you...just wonderful.
