Re: PET results suspicious for small metastic lesions
Yes, please keep in mind my experience. Even after a frozen section that said I had lung cancer and the removal of the right lobe of my lung, I was finally told a misdiagnosis had been made and the biopsy was negative after all. The areas were old pneumonia activity. In retropsect, I should have been seen by a pulmonolgist initially who would have treated medically to see if the lesions reduced.
I know we are all different but my story shows that we should never give up hope and that things are not always what they seem. When we have had cancer, conclusions can be jumped to...
So please, keep the faith.
