Hi MaryJo.

No PET or CT. Did Breast MRI, CX and blood work before surgery. I would guess these tests would at least show that additional breast, lung and liver problems are unlikely. I think different oncs have different preferences. I would guess that the CT/PET early on may find problems in a very small percentage of patients. It may also show false positives. For now. I'm OK doing without these scans. If it comes back, I'll change my opinion. BB
