@virginiald Surely your doctor can suggest a Pet scan,this shows everything that is going on in the body. It must be very frustrating to feel that you are not being heard . Maybe try new primary care doctor? Don't give up and listen to your body.

@lizzyj58 hi. I’ve had two PET Scans and am about to,have a third. The PET Scans nor the CT are showing anything more than the metastasised groin lymph nodes. PET SCANS are only 85% of show all. I really do not understand this as I was also informed that a PET Scan would pick up all and follow,the lymphatic system to the primary cancer origination.
to the primary. This has not happened.

@lizzyj58 I'm not sure who or what you are referring to in your reply to me. Perhaps you meant this to go to susan38? I get PET scans regularly and was on W&W for nine years since the chemo I had for the anal cancer wiped out all signs of FL. It has slowly returned according to the regular PET scans over the years, then aggressively per the PET scan I had in July. That's why I am now in treatment. I was giving susan38 a heads-up since her high-res anoscopy shows cancer even though the PET scans do not. This can happen. A colposcopy may well examine the cervix, but may miss tumors in the anal canal. Both cancers are triggered by the human papilloma virus, to which we have all been exposed.
