Getting into my last week of Radiation and actually feeling good physically. Emotionally the depression is still lingering. Anyway since they can't PET for 9 weeks how would I best spend my time planning and reseaching the next phase. My hospital is not a major CCC so I was planning to start making appointments with a couple in the area so I'm prepared with documentation and appts no matter what the next course of action. I think a second opnion would be prudent either way? Also is there any addtional treatment between now and the PET that I can take advantage of in the next 9 weeks? How have the rest found the cooperation of other hospitals, your current Doctors, and most importantly your insurance companies policy relative to second opinion.
