I did a PET Scan before I started treatement. This scan showed some areas that were not detected on CT Scans, and as a result, I was diagnosed Stage IV.

My oncologist said that he will do another PET Scan after I finish Chemo. He said that it takes time for the changes to be reflected on the scan. I don't understand it, but I trust his expertise. In the meantime, I get CT Scans every two months, though they do not show everything like the PET Scan does.
Good luck with your treatment.
