A friend of mine just got some bad news? Her turkey neck had a cyst in it. When she went for a PET they advsied her that it was a 4. I assume that is bad but I do not know for sure. Any help or info would be apreciated. Thanks

    Not Enough Information
    Not really enough information to advise on...I presume maybe the 4 meant the size of the cyst or tumor, as in cm, not sure.

    But as long as they haven't biopsied it and declared it to be cancerous, that's a good thing.

    Keep us informed...

    Best,

    Thanks John
    We found out it must have been a false positive. I believe they did a biopsy and it came back negative. Thanks again
