A pet Scan was performed on 01/23/08 that showed innumerable FDG avid foci involving the neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis and axial skeleton. Consistent with very extensive malignant process. I am very worried about the process of Chemo and if anyone can give me any advice as to the life expectancy I would appreciate it since he thinks the treatments will make him better and I am trying to be strong for him. If anyone can help please write, I am desperate. Thank you. RAZ51 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT
