How Can Breast Cancer Be Treated?
I was diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer in Feb and treated by surgery and anastrozole. My doctor has suggested a PET/CT scan due to weight loss. Since this involves radiation exposure, i am not comfortable doing this test. I am 63. What information do you have about the risks of this test for someone with a cancer history. Thank you.
