i didn't get a PET scan right after chemo i went about 2 weeks after chemo then went right into radiation they did tell me all of my blood work was normal at the time
so far i am doing well with not having this re show up i have had about 4-5 pet scan's since they found my hodgkins its been about 3-4 years i havent needed a pet scan again for about a year as far as i know the best way to try and make sure that its under controll is to do both treatments with me being 28 now and i was bad over weight they first liked the weight problem cause you lose weight in chemo they said that i was on the strongest chemo that they could possibly put someone on i am trying to be able to move on since and continue with my goals i had set before it was found for instance gastric bypass surgery and i wanna be a support to others going through the chemo and radiation treatments its hard to find a support who knows what its all about unless they themselves have been there
