I was diagnosed a year ago (three clear CT scans since ) but I have never had a PET scan - or at least not since I finished treatment. Is this normal? I go to MD Anderson and they said the PET scan is not needed, but it seems everyone on this site gets PET scans. I was just curious if I should get a second opinion!
