Re: Not any kinds of scans will be done!

I am curious as to why the Pet Scan does not include the brain.

Remember Idele Davidson's book chemo brain, and the research she discovered showed if an original pet scan included the brain, subsequent pet scans could help to show when the chemo damage to the brain was occurring.
