Dolores,

Some on this site have had terrific experiences with PETs re: their bone mets. I have had all the tests and my onc seems to believe that with bone mets, none are completely accurate. He says that's because even if cancer cells are killed, the lesions they've created stay behind and show up as "hot spots" on the tests. So it's hard to say whether they're old lesions now under repair or current problems. Since I was just diag in Sept, I look forward to having the same test (whether PET, MRI or CT) another couple of times to look for any type of healing, which with bones isn't fast.

Don't forget to breathe until your PET! I'm sure whatever you've been doing to fight the mets has been doing the trick and the PET will be your friend.

Love and light,

Lisa
