I have come to learn that these false positive post are the most emotionally destructive of all. Clearly, PET scans have been patient driven. We read about them and push our physicians to do them and then we minimize their reliability when they go bad. I hate to say this, mine was on the money! I have lung mets and had a wedge resection on 5/6/04 and my next step is up in the air. I have avoided posting here for many reasons, most prominently being my heretofore poster child recovery. The most disturbing aspect of my PET scan results was the ultimate realization that they were accurate. I had all the doctors, not involved in my pet scan, telling me that they are often wrong when what I needed was guidance as to what to do now that I may have a reoccurrence. Dan, the other shoe may have dropped here and you need to clear your head and decide where to go. I have elected to fight. I agree that it aint cancer till the biopsy but I think you will be better served if you assume it is, and be happy if it aint! You have displayed a remarkable dedication to this forum and when a supporter like you may be facing a reoccurrence it is doubly unsettling. Ground yourself like you did when you dealt the initial diagnosis and get on with the fight!
