barbvh Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hi Everyone, My oncologist called me today and EVERYTHING from my bronchoscope last week was negative. No tumors, cancer, fungus infection, TB or virus, They believe it is inflammation that they will watch it and rescan me in mid May. I guess that PET scans are not always accurate and sometimes what looks like cancer is inflammation. Thanks for all your prayers and support.
