      Hello again,

       

      Thanks so much for knowing I can come here and ask questions of you all.  My husband is in 2 weeks on his radiation treatment for his melanoma and lung cancer.  He has 3.5 weeks to go.  I understand it is about a month or more before they will do a PETscan again to check the status of the melanoma.  Just wanted to get your knowledge of standard (if any) timing of a PETscan after treatment is done.

      thanks, Mary
