My husband had PET/CT's done in Jan. Mar, Jun/2011 bacause each time the scan showed activity with the area growing larger and lighting up stronger but the Dr could never find any visual signs of cancer nor did an ultrasound show any "areas" and my husband did not feel like the cancer had returned and doing an exploration surgery was not an option for our Dr. or us. So the decision was always made to wait and see for 3 more months, take antibiotics in case the area was an infection not visable to the eye. Finally in Sept the PET/CT came back with no areas of concern! We were preparing ourselves for the worst. The waiting is not fun but don't give up hope, it took a year but he got a clear scan! Now 1 down and 4 more years to go!
