thank you for your sharing your story, my oncology doctor never suggested a PET scan,
what was the reason for doing chemotherapy first?
My dr. wants to do full hysterectomy, removal of mass, remove ovaries, test tissue during surgery for cancer with tumor markers during surgery, potential remove tissue, more ovaries which may be effected, the ultrasound showed mild pelvic fluid,
I'm 69, I wonder now if I need a second opinion. I only felt bloated after a meal. I have to overcome my cold before getting the surgery. Please respond back.

I had TIA mini stroke in Nov so doctor wanted to wait for at least 6 months before during surgery. And they found some of the cancer cells In the abdominal wall which they found out with the PET scan. So that also drove decision to do some chemo first.
