I missed updating Tuesday.

Saw the ENT. Final pathology report says no cancer in tissue he took from my lip. He asked me if I still wanted to do the PET. He seemed to think that it was unnecessary.

I told him, I would feel better if we did it. So I am scheduled for a PET today at 8am.

Now for the million dollar question...

What happens after this test? I am scheduled to get the results the week after Thanksgiving. I know this test gives a lot of false positives. What is the next step if spots show up? How will they rule out a true hot spot and a false positive?

Thanks!
