Be persistent until you get a diagnosis. An MRI and CT are imaging tools that can spot obvious larger tumors . . however if the cancer is small or widespread it can be missed. The same with a video . . unless they are looking in the right spot it can be missed.





Probably what might happen is that they will use the CT and MRI as a baseline and than wait for a few months and redo the scans. That way the scans can be compared and if anything has changed they'll notice.





However, if this is cancer and it is growing fast you might inquire about doing a PET scan. It might be warranted in this situation. If the PET lights up in areas than they can compare this with the current CT and MRI to establish exactly where the cancer is locate. If it does not light up, that still doesn't rule cancer out . . just means you need to be persistent and have the tests redone in a few months.





This is a tough one though. Stay with it.
