Rahul,

Typically if you can see cancer on the PET with SUV higher than low values (don't ask what is low, still trying to find this magic threshold) , then my understanding is that chemo will not CURE (i.e. kill completely) those cancers. Make sure to ask more about the PET and ask about the SUV value and if they feel that chemo will KILL it or just manage it (i.e. reduce its size or keep from growing).

If he says it will not KILL it then you are not on a curative path. If they say it will kill it then, just out of personal curiosity, quote that portion of the report that describes the parts that "lighted up" on the PET. Include measurement and SUV.

good luck,
don
