Thanks for the PET/CT explanation.
I am such a coward about anything involving needles - guess I picked the right disease :-)
Plus I've been spoiled by being able to use my port for everything over the past 1+ year.
I'm so fortunate to be in a good health system. I saw my surgeon today - she called to see if the results were ready and at least was able to give me a preliminary confirmation. Then she called my oncologist and I was able to walk over and get at PET/CT scan scheduled for next Tues and an appt with my onc. for Wed. So there won't be too much waiting involved.
I figure I will have radiation; I wonder if I'll have any additional chemo. I didn't have Taxol being originally stage 1. Goes to show how aggressive these C cells can be.
