Hi Ron:
Great assistance is here on this site. Everyone brings different experiences that you can draw from. Just remember, it's your body and your choices. Doctors you trust and that work well together (And with you) make a huge difference in the quality of treatment as well as your mental attitude while coping with everything thrown at you. No question should be too tough for your doctors, and they should invite you being inquisitive. Gather your questions and write them down, if you don't understand something clearly, slow the doctor down until you're comfortable with what they're explaining. It's your time! My first surgeon openly invited a 2nd opinion, infact he brought it up because he sensed hesitation on my part! His only request was whatever I decided, please do it quickly. You're dealing with a tricky and elusive disease that wastes no time, so that time is of the essence. The PET scan is a great start to formulating a game plan. You are young and can beat this!! Hang in there and we look forward be hearing of your successful journey!!
Best Regards,
Steve
