    I am talking about my scans. I had several Cat and Pet scans. Those scans initially showed that my lungs were clean. Then I had both of those scans again and the showed multiple dots. Thus, it was concluded they were mets from colon cancer. Cat scans are more accurate for chest versus abdominal area. Ones with contrast help to determine measurement in a better way because they show in a more clear way borders. Butt. P.S.

    Yes, the only way to say for sure would be a biopsy.

    What was an uptake number on PET? 8 mm is not small for biopsy because they can locate it easily.
