In January I finished radiation and chemotherapy for Stage II base of tongue cancer. My PET scan 3 months later was fine. Now the PET scan at the end of November is showing activity at the bot. I had an MIR, with "vague" findings. Saw the ENT specialist today, and he can't see or feel anything. Next week it's back to the oncologist to see if I just wait a while and get more scans, or they do a "blind biopsy" on something they can't see.
Of course I've been very worried about all this since I got the news. Is it just a false positive or the very beginning of a reoccurance? I have confidence that the doctors are on the right path, but I'm worried about what they may find. And what the treatment might be. Anyone have PET scan false positives?
