The medical professionals that use PET like them and the ones that don't, give you the false + line. Mine was right on and found cancer in both lungs. This was not picked up by the standard one year x-ray 4 months earlier. I would be much farther along on the road to death without the PET, and I know I am not alone here. If you can find a facility that knows how to read one, and your insurance will pay, get one. I had mine at MSKCC and they seem very confident in their results. The real disappointment for me came, not from finding the cancer but from learning that I did not have one of the often referred to false positives. I would be curious to see how many of us have had a confirmed false reading of a PET scan.
