Re: Only "slight" decrease on PET....is it time

Seems like you need to know if whatever increased is clearly cancer. The PET only scan can be influenced by inflammation to some degree. You mention a couple areas of decrease. Is the femur area still good? Not much better than Zometa until Denosumab gets approved. Although..could consider adding Doxycycline or get it 24 hrs after chemo for potential tissue benefit as well. Have you had the Navelbine at the recommended intervals and dosing? I remember there were some schedule disruptions. If necessary, you could add in Xeloda before leaving the 'bine behind.
