Welcome to OCF. The PET scan will tell your doctors how far the cancer has advanced. At this point its too early to give you much advice. Once you speak to your doctors about their recomended course of action, then its easier to know what to expect. The only advice I can give you for right now is to drink lots of water and eat alot.
