      I completed a year of interferon on March 16th 2010.  I was told by my onc. that I would have a PET scan after treatment but would have to wait at least a month to get the drug out of my system.  My nurses told me that interferon can cause false positives.  I wasn't scanned at all during treatment.  I had a CT scan before starting.
