I'm sorry no one responded to your post. That's very rare here.
I had a CT done to determined if the chemo was effective. Also CT/PET seems to be popular right now.
The other questions I would have to refer to a physician. When in doubt get a second opinion. Sounds like your doing that. Good luck on getting in at City of Hope.
