Hi,
I had a PET scan a few months after I completed my tratments, then a CAT scan for a basis of what to look for in the future. I now have a CAT scan every 6 months. I just had one yesterday and will get the results next week...always a stressful time. I haven't had a PET since I completed my treatments.
