Pet scan

I had surgery for reoccuring GCT ( 2 tumors in ab one on liver) They were @ 9.5-11 cm in size. I experienced no discomfort at all. I would like to think if PET clear then it is unrelated but let your MD know.

I would love to get anyone thoughts on chemo for CGT, since this was my second reccurance (12 yrs betwen) they are talking chemo, I can not find anything that shows chemo is efffective. I think I would rather monitor with blood tesy and scans,work on better diet and see what happens

Thanks

Hi,  I reported that my pet scan was clear.  Now I'm having a little discumfort in my pelvic area,  I'm worried that there are tumors growing there,  I didn't feel this before.  Maybe its all in my head.  Please let me know if anyone else had this feeling.  Hope  everyone is doing okay.  You are in my prayers  Ann  

Hi Ann,  I always have discomfort in my abdomen for several days after chemo.  I believe it is related to the chemo and the Neulasta shot.  I also have pains under my rib cage after I exercise too hard or walk too much.  All tests show nothing is there and the PET scan looks good.  I think we just have to get used to these and move on.  That's what I'm trying to do.Good luck,
