Should I be worried
I read a lot of your posts regarding, Pet scans, MRI's. I have only had every 6 month's the mammy's. I see my surgeon this month after my 6 month mammy, should I be asking for a pet scan? After my DX I had the MRI and bone scan. Is a bone scan the same as a pet scan ?

Anyone having trouble with bloodshot eyes
My eyes have been bloodshot consistently since after my port was put in and haven't really changed much since. I've done 4 rounds of AC, neo-adjuvant and have 4 rounds of Taxol to go. I've brought this up to the oncologist and he hasn't really offered any concern or explanation. Anyone else have this problem.
