Hello, I will ask for a petscan when I see him next which is i the begining of March. He told me the growth is on the tail of my pancreas, that the last catscan the see some inflamation there but know the is a growth there, and for my piece of mid I am going to demand a pet scan thanks for you help and I will let you know how I make out with everything. Thanks again it means the world to me and helps me get through my day!

Best wishes. I am praying that the growth is a cyst.

Karen,
Be sure to ask for a PET/CT scan, not just a PET scan. The combined PET & CT scan (which they sometimes call fused scans) is less prone to provide false positives than the plain PET scan.

I will ask for a Pet/CT Scan. The more I think about this the more I need to know just what it actually is on my pancreas. Thank you to all!

just more support
 

Kareneg -- My friend who is getting doxil for liver C was at support group last night (he's had trouble with fluid retention in his legs). He said he also gets a fever after his doxil infusion. His doctor isn't concerned. Just one more side effect to be aware of.
