Make sure you discuss the bleeding with your doctor. A little bleeding can be normal but this doesnt sound right. Not every day, a couple times per day.
A PET scan should not be done until 3 months post radiation. PET scans are known for false positives. Having one only 6-8 wks after finishing it has a very high chance of showing inflammation which will appear as 'activity' and would be interpreted as a positive scan.
I have not heard of TRILOGY before. Was this done at a major cancer center? Is this something new? Are there studies attesting to this being better than cyberknife or was this someone's opinion?
