results is in.Last PET(february,2010) show multiple mets to the liver,pelvic,retroperitoneum and lung(where she had 13 "old").That all come after laser resection of the left lung.After that PET she start with artemisinin and AHCC as supplements.Results of PET/CT(may,2010) are:liver-nothing light-up,lungs-1/3 in size smaller,low SUV,pelvic-more than 1/2 in size smaller,bit higher SUV,retroperitoneum I'm not sure,we have to ask onc one more time.Generally we are more than happy.After 2 years of chemo(folfox+avastin,folfiri+erbitux,irinotecan+erbitux)this is first good scan.Is it from artemisinin or AHCC?We dont know but thank God for this results.Regards.
