The Cancer Survivors Network (CSN) is a peer support community for cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, families, and friends! CSN is a safe place to connect with others who share your interests and experiences.
Hopefully Pet Scan is a false positive.

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.

I haven't had any infections, but the dr. said it could be several different things. CA-125 on May 24 came back at 12.8. He said he doesn't think it's related to the ovarian cancer. He said several things could cause it to light up.
He is sending me for a needle biopsy on the spot near my thyroid. I go for that on June 15, and see him again on June 21.
