I just had a question.... Danny Boy & others stated that generally it is best to wait for up to 6 months to scan so that the results are accurate and not misleading due to the radiation and healing. If the cancer was not obliterated from the treatment (in my moms case imrt & chemo) wouldn't that give the cancer time to start to metastasize?

I am so stressed about waiting for too long to hear what the response is. My fear would be that it would be spreading while we are waiting. Isn't there a way to find out sooner? My Mom is 3 weeks out from her last imrt and chemo. We have no clue if it worked.
