Markers may not be true indicators
Flori,
remember markers can be relevant, but they can be off too as I understand the research about them.
I fully believe you can still have good PET results!
Your question is whether to take 4 or 5 Tykerb today?
I wish I knew the answer.
Hope and pray for good results!
Please let us know!
Fondly,
Odette
