Jo72, I had a similar experience with PET scans. CT looked normal, but there were several hot spots on the PET. The biggest one was about an inch across. I plan to insist on PET scans from now on! And I encourage all cancer patients to consider requesting them, too.

Thank you for that information. 🙏🏽 I’m currently getting Avastin infusions and my oncologist is using CT scans every 3 months to track my tumors. I wonder if that’s enough? I’ve only had 2 PET scans, one at diagnosis and one when he thought I was cancer free because of my CA125 and wanted to end treatment.

I wonder how often Medicare will approve a PET scan?
