Re: Pet Scan for Stage 1?
Bird - thanks for the info - hope your PET scan was B9! I had an MRI of the brain at the start of this journey - it was actually ordered by my ENT when I was suffering from repeated bouts of vertigo (brain MRI was B9 - the vertigo was fixed by the Epley Manuever).
I'm a bit nervous for this PET scan because I've been complaining to my onc about a pain near my old port scar that's been bothering me for a couple of months. I'm hoping it has nothing to do with the 16mm mediastinal node or the thymic remnant that were found on the cat scan done in May of last year - I'm just assuming it's bone pain in the clavicle region due to the Arimidex and my swimming. I plan on bringing the last cat scan reports with me to the Pet scan since the cat scans were conducted at a different location - so they can have something to compare it with. Thanks again everyone for your help!
