After I had a melanoma removed about 20 years ago, I had several scans over a period of time. Although at the time I already knew there was nothing wrong - the doctors insisted. The gallium scans were supposed to pick up fast cell growth. If he was having the same kind of scans - it's always possible that the cells were growing fast, but not fast enough for the dye to be picked up - which is what they look for. I'm sorry your dad has to go through all this when everything had started to look better.

But, again, you may be borrowing trouble. My grandma used to say "don't trouble trouble til trouble troubles you." And a fat lot of good that does! I think of you and your parents on a daiy basis. All best wishes. jae grenier I wish the news was better. But, again, you may be borrowing trouble.
