I really, really, really doubt a MAJOR CCC would TREAT for cancer based only on a PET/CT scan.
That would really be inconsistent with the NCCN Guidelines, so if this happened to you then you might want to see an Attorney.
[quote=ChristineB]Lets talk about your PET/CT scan last May. If you had a false positive the doctors would have treated you for cancer. A false positive is where the test shows you have an abnormality when you do not. False positives are very very common with PET scans. It has happened to me and several other members of this forum...
