Pet scans don't only "light up" when there is cancer. This is the reason why there are so many false positives. Many people here have been freaked out by this and many, like myself, have never had a PET for that reason.

Considering what you've been through, you are doing well. I know it's hard to believe, but it's along battle and you are well on your way toward feeling "normal".
