Dear Shell, I don't know how reliable pet scans are. If you go to this website, you may be surprised what this doctor says can cause false readings in a pet scan.
http://www.susanlovemd.org/community...ns/q030725.htm My petscan is showing something similar to yours. I recently had therapy in my arm for lymphedema. My chest wall began to ache and I found on the lymphedema website that chest wall lymphedema is very common and that I should massage the area. It feels fine when I do that. What is a ctc test? Is it more conclusive than a petscan? Did you get a second opinion? I wonder what kind of chemo Peter Jennings is on? I can't seem to find out.Do you have a good doctor? Don't worry, they'll figure out something for you to use. Keep praying hard. God Bless you, Cathy
