1.  My husband had a PET scan that showed increased metabolic activity
in a node in the left mediastinal.  One of the docs (the one who
ordered the PET) says PETs are very reliable and extremely sensitive,
but our LMS doctor says he doesn't even order them for his patients
because they are so full of errors.  Any ideas?  Should we be
concerned?  All but one of the tumors in his lungs have disappeared
after the five rounds of chemo, so it's strange that this would show
up now, even though otherwise he's NED.  Any chance this is an
incorrect result?


2.  How long has it taken for you all who have had
adriamycin/ifosfomide chemotheraphy to recover fully once treatment ended?
