Hello again Jamie, scans can have false positives, in fact it is fairly common with PET scans because many things besides cancer can show up (infections for instance). Several people have had that happen. I'll hope for the best.


Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
