In response to Alice I note that you have had PET scans while on Chemo and herceptin is this correct? I was told that I couldn''t have a PET scan because chemo and probably herceptin could give false readings when mixed with the 'stuff' they put into you for the PET scan, and my oncologist was reluctant to take me off hercpetin for three months.
