Follow-up PET Scan shows something

Posted by kamrin @kamrin, May 15 9:57am

Has anyone had a false positive for their Pet Scan for scc hpv 16+? Previously, I had clear margins after Tors near the tonsil and had chemoradiation, 30 radiation and 6 chemo cisplatin. Just had a pet scan and it lights up near the tonsil. My ent took another biopsy, im hoping the cancer is gone and its only inflammation.

Hello everyone. It was a false positive. So thankfully there is no cancer. I cried like a baby. Its inflammation. Now I can recover and then remove the thyroid for the 2nd cancer.

@kamrin I had tongue and lymph node cancer followed by thyroid cancer, too! The thyroid cancer was found during pathology of lymph nodes during first cancer. I will say the thyroid surgery and recovery was easy compared to the first cancer. Here's hoping yours is as well.

Hi, I just finished 35 treatments of radiation and 7 chemo for voice box cancer with 1 lymph node. I had the same issue with those creamy drinks. My son put me on clean simple eats protein powder (chocolate brownie batter. I still can't taste but I can smell. Mix with water not milk. Did the job for me. Also a good one lineage ab complete original. Mixed half and half with the first one. Again with water. I put crushed ice in mine. 😀
