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.

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
