Has Anyone Ever Had This Happen?

Have you ever gone to get a biopsy and it came back positive for malignancy- but your blood work on your white cells was normal and your CT scans did not show cancer?

I havent had the biopsy yet- I am getting it today- But I have heard of blood work coming back fine and still the person had cancer. So just asking...I think this biopsy is a waste of time now- I really dont think I need it.

From what I understand, a biopsy is the only way to 100% confirm if it is cancer or not. I have had blood work done that said my cancer returned, PET scans and CT scans that said the same, but my biopsy came back negative. In a month, they re-tested my PET and CT, and they were back to normal. Anyway, good luck with all of your testing. I hope things turn out ok.

Yes that can happen, but that is definately a rare thing......

Just in case, do not dismiss the biopsy. Have it redone. Send it to a different lab. Hopefully they mixed up your results with someone else's, or some other mistake. But don't count on it until you repeat test. Good luck

No but sometimes lab companies have bad samples and test come out wrong get test by another dotor
