Not all Drs do them after Chemocahjah75 said:Molly
Congrats on finishing chemo this week. I had PET scan before I started chemo. Your insurance has to ok it because it's an expensive test. Mine took a week to get results. Wishing you the best.

Didn't have any scan after A/C, 2 weeks after the last I had surgery (mod. rad. mast.). Didn't have any scheduled after the 12 Taxol - surgeon and Chemo Dr didn't think it was needed but Rads Dr insisted he had to have on done before rads started. So the day I had the last Taxol, it was put off til later in the day so CT could be done. I had a mammo in Aug a year after DX and a CT in Nov because I was having pain and pressure around right eye but nothing showed up.
added: I forgot - I also got a bone scan shortly after rad burns healed as was having pain in back and my PA wanted to be sure it was just the arthritis getting worse - it was thankfully. Sounds strange to say Thannkful for worse arthritis but that beats mets any day in my mind.0 -

Finishing chemo is a real milestone...when you finish on Friday, pat yourself on the back.."JOB WELL DONE!". It's such a relief to have that part of treatment over and done with...and it really proves, we are stronger than we ever imagined...When I finished chemo and rads, I wanted to cartwheel out of the place...of course that would have been a sight!
I wish you the very best Molly

Did not get one after
I finished Chemo on 1/7/11. My surgeon asked me to get a new baseline mammo which I did on 1/14. I'm seeing my onc tomorrow (1/25) hoping to be oked for radiation.
I had a PET scan before Chemo but my onc hasn't suggested having one after at all.
Congrats on being almost finished with Chemo!!

So happy you are so close to finishing chemo. It feels good doesn't it?!?! My Onc. does not do PET scans after. He does not like them so I have not had anything yet. I finished chemo in July 10, rads in Sept. 10 and will have my first mammo since tx ended in March 11. God Bless
