Putting aside the controversy over using PET scans, the advice above is very good. If your doc has a radiologist who knows how, get one and get it read. In fact, get it read by more than one doc. Additional opinions are not hard to get. Have them spin your scan onto a couple of extra CD's and send them out to folks who really know their stuff. You'll feel better. Your health will be safer. Don't give the beast an inch. Play out your hunches. No one knows your health as well as you do. Trust that. Be strong. Tom
