Ooops. I see by another post that your mother is already on chemo. I suspect that they will hold off all tests (unless they suspect or find something specific) until after the chemo is done. When I was first diagnosed I went through all of these tests right away and it seems to be standard for everyone I know here....in Ontario, Canada. Your mother is not the first one I have heard of on this site where tests are done in different order but....just be sure they are all done at some point. Having found the tumor in my supraclavicular node prior to chemo my onc knew that the spot should be heavily radiated and it was...but...it reacted very well to the chemo and shrunk to nothing within a few treatments. That is my logic for doing these tests up front.
