Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I am due to have a CAT scan this week. I have had 3 PET/CAT scans since 10/07, last being June 2008. This is recheck after CHOP+R after 6 months. (All clear in June) I am wondering why my local oncologist didn’t order a PET instead of CAT. Is there a problem with Medicare & this. Can you only have so many PET’s in a certain time frame? I discussed with nurse, and she said “the doctor usually alternates these tests”. Checking on recurrence of not only CLL, but DLBCL (lymphoma). Barb N.. – Arkansas CLL/SLL 5/01 DLBCL 10/07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
