PET scan results

PET scan results today and hopefully and answer as to how I got an infection in my hand during the procedure. I hope to get all the facts and all the info. from these scans. I have lost confidence in the doctors at some of the doctors I see at UT Southwestern. I feel I don't get all the info. and I am often discussed in the third person since I am not invited to the clinical review boards where interesting cases are discussed. I have a boatload of question for the doctors today:
  1. I would like to get all the information available.
  2. I need some sort of plan B, let's plan for continual recurrences... how should this be handled.
  3. How would you handle my case if you were in my shoes or if one of your loved ones was in my position.
  4. What are the options for dealing with LC?
  5. What are my options since your chemo sucks and most hospitals are so conservative?
  6. MORE Questions to be added later depending upon the answers given.

  1. There has to be better and improved medical help and service to one and all.This type of infection from a scan is not at all expected in the recent times where expertise and order are the rules of the day.

  2. Best of luck to you. Feel free to share my experiences with adenocarcinoma (NSCLC) since being diagnosed in January.

  3. Chemotherapy is very harsh but there are also options of radiotherapy and bubble therapy other than stem cell therapy isn't it?Why don't you ask your Doctor about all the other available options and also the option of surgery if at all in your case?
