Oscar,

That is terrible news. I can't imagine a person going through 12 solid weeks of RT.

I sure hope that the biopsy proves that the uptake was a false positive. I have read about that many times before here. I'm surprised they did a CT and PET scan mid treatment. My husband's first PET is scheduled for 5 months post treatment, and even then I have read that there can be false positives.

I will be thinking about you and hoping for the best.
