Hopefully Pet Scan is a false positive.

I posted last week about 4 very small spots lighting up on my petscan from two weeks ago. One was near my thyroid, the other 3 in my chest areas. The abdominal area was clean, as was my abdominal/pelvic CT. May 8 CA 125 was 12.6 I see my dr. on the 24th. He may order a chest CT at that time just to be sure, but he isn't convinced that it is related to the cancer. He wants to repeat the pet in two months. I felt better when I received my ca 125. I know it isn't an exact test, but it's important (or so my dr. says). Carla |

I hope your Pet Scan is a false positive too and I feel that your low CA 125 is a promising sign. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I was wondering whether or not you'd had a recent viral infection. Or perhaps you may have had a latent, smoldering dental infection? Either one would be reason enough to show up as inflammation on your scan.
Do your best to set your mind at ease--worry is a waste of the imagination.
