Since my last PET?CT scan three months ago had a troublesome reading with legal that "metastatic disease can not be totally excluded" because of "focal hypermetabolic activity in the floor of the mouth with a maximum SUV of 4.5..."(I'm familiar with legal disclaimers but this read more like a brutally candid self assessment of the reviewing radiologist's diagnostic ability). My entire CCC team said don't worry but did schedule another one for next month. The threads were all about a year old that I found so anything new from the posters here on PDT. I acknowledge in advance that this article reads like the typical tabloid take on cancer treatment, and I will definitely raise it with my radiologist and chemo and ENT at my next visits with each of them over the next month but as good as they are, I always learn something from OCF posters.
