Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 618 | The PET I recently had was to check my lyph node which did light up and a needle biopsy did confirm cancer. The PET also covered my lungs and showed spots lighting up. The largest was needle biopsied but was inconclusive because only one of the three attempts at getting useful tissue was succesful. That tissue sample came up negative for cancer.
We ar now following up with a series of CT scans over time to see if tht spot changes in any wat. Had a CT on it today.
