Kelly,

Everytime I hear of someone recurring, I get a sick feeling also. Kelly, have you asked about a PET scan? If it is not growing it's probably nothing. Chances are it is nothing. Yes, things show up alot that turn out to be nothing. On one of my pet scans my thyroid lit up. It turned out to be nothing. Test's are not always correct. There are false pos and false neg.
