Hi everyone
Dad has completed his first round of chemo (four rounds of FLOT 80%) It has now been two weeks and today we received a call asking him to come in for a PET - CT tomorrow. Praying this shows some shrinkage so we can then get the go ahead for the op. I wasn’t aware he was having a PET is this the norm?
Hi Nat
I'm not a member of this group, so I don't know if a PET scan is normal at this stage of treatment, but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list.
While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could pop something about your dad's diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
I hope the scan went well and your dad doesn't have to wait too long for the results.
