Yes, it is possible to have a PET scan done and still have lung cancer. PET scans are highly sensitive imaging tests that can detect areas of increased metabolic activity in the body, which is a common characteristic of cancer cells. However, false-negative results can occur if the cancer is small or slow-growing, or if the scan is performed too soon after treatment. Therefore, additional imaging tests and follow-up evaluations may be necessary to confirm a lung cancer diagnosis.

Is possible doctor diagnosed lung cancer and later found it is not lung cancer?

A mis-diagnosis is always possible. It all depends on how many tests the doctor has performed and how accurate they are. However, a doctor probably wouldn't break the news about having lung cancer until he is sure it is lung cancer. An exception would be if he did not see something that would make the disorder other than lung cancer.
