just more support

Karen, I'm thinking so many good thoughts for you. Glad doxil seemed to go okay (any reminder of adriamycin is stinky though-ugh). I fully support you in asking for the PET/CT combination. Remember they are the experts, but you are the boss of your health, treatment, diagnostics, etc.
