Friends,
I am lucky enough to have a first cousin here in Houston who is an eminent radiologist who recently retired from one of our best hospitals and opened imaging clinics. I sent him my latest reports from MDACC and he told me that I absolutely need to have a PET scan and he is scheduling me for one ASAP. He says that he views PET scans as essential in head and neck cases,thinks that we should have them every few months, doesn't have a problem with false positives and does not understand why they are not widely used at MD Anderson.

I am excited about using this diagnostic tool and not having to wait 3 months.

Thanks for all of your support and best wishes to everyone.

Danny G.
