Take it from some one who has had more than one test that looked bad at first but turned out to be not so bad once all the data was in. Scans can show healing tissue, infections, radiation damage and other non cancer related issues as active.

Its hard, but try and wait for the full analysis to come in from the doctors before jumping to any conclusions.

By the way I should say "do as I say not as I do" as many on this board have seen this happen to me as I jumped in the totaly wrong direction based on incomplete information.
