Hi Jimbo,

I have heard many times that there are a lot of false positives-I don't recall but it's some absurdly high figure like 40 percent false positives- with PET scans. My choice would be to just roll with the process and believe what the doc says. Sorry I can't offer more input.

FIL completed treatment 10/08. CG to father in Law in india who had SCC oral tongue T2N2M0. FIL underwent surgery, neck dissection, IMRT, and erbitux without losing weight or getting nauseated. Completed October 2008. SO far so good.
