I pressed add reply before I could get my real response. I am sorry that there is confusion for you. Take a deep breath and follow through. My father has never been offered a PET. When I brought it up they sort of scoffed stating the invalidity and that CT's are sufficient. My dad had a head, neck and whole torso CT-isn't that suffiecient considering that the body at certain times has different levels of metabolism? It is hard-so hard--does it come down to the actual scan or the human interpreting it? I don't know. Darrell, I am so sorry that there is uneasiness. It is just shocking how different treatments are everywhere you go.
