Pet Scan/ Ct Scan
Did everyone at time of diagnosis have a PET/CT scan? I thought that was standard procedure but now am hearing of people that didn't or don't have them. Why would this be I wonder? Don't you need to do that to see if there are mets before you can continue with treatment or what type of treatment is best?
When you hear of those who did not have any type of scans after original dx. and then you hear of recurrence shortly there after treatment, you must conclude that the cancer must have been there from the start.
Anyway, how can they give you a correct staging without a PET scan? I was given a PET scan, chest x-ray, blood work and echo before any surgery was done.
Just curious once again.
