Just wanted to let you know that after having my Pet scan done yesterday, I just received word the scan showed nothing, no cancer at all. I guess want to thank everyone for their hope getting me through the rough weekend. Thank you! Thank you!
I guess now I know that Ct scans can sometimes show things that aren't there.

Congratulations on a clear scan!
I've read that CAT scans are 40% accurate in detecting cancer and PET scans are 90% accurate in detecting cancer. My experience bears that out as well.0 -
Congrats on the "all clear"!! Glad you have such good news.
