Hi,
i'm sorry that you aren't able to have tests that you think would be helpful in dx your problem. If you are concerned because of the abnormality that was already found you should see a dr that you can trust - get another opinion if possible.
About six months ago i had a PET scan of most of my body to rule out a plasmacytoma because i have cloned immuniogloblins in my blood and severe chronic pain. A contrast dye is injected and the body tissues are scanned as the dye goes through them and abnormalities are able (hopefully), to be seen. It's an expensive test and exposes you to radiation.
Take care, Bimini. i hope that you will be able to have all the helpful tests that you need to have the correct dx. i didn't get any answers from the test- still in pain and nothing showed up.
