I hope it turns out to be nothing serious!
Ive had false positive PET scans too. Ive also walked around with 'lit up' nodes in my lungs for several years. These nodes have not changed at all in the past 4 years. According to what my docs have told me they are nothing to worry about, they are tiny (about the size of a grain of rice). Hope this helps to calm your fears by showing you that you arent alone and things dont always turn out to be a major issue like cancer.
Best wishes!!!
