I'm with @noosa_blue150 on this - I reckon ANY patient diagnosed with cancer should have a CT or PET scan straight up to see exactly WHAT is involved ..... as you have a 'snapshot' of your whole body at 'that point in time' (to compare future scans against) & who knows, the early scan may just pick up other bits that may help with treatment options & catch other tumours before they advance further.
But as I understand it, they rarely do them unless you've been diagnosed with a future recurrence. :(
They've recently ok'd Genomic testing on all children diagnosed with ANY cancer ..... that should also be made available to all adults too.
