Good luck! The waiting is the worst part - the radiation and chemo goes by faster than you think.

And thanks for all of the input about PET scans, I have been wondering for some time and when my doctor told me I didn't need one, I was aprehensive to insist, as I didn't want to come off seeming like I knew more than the doctor. I might request a PET at my one year post-treatment check-up, just for peace of mind.
