FULL BODY PET SCAN WHY NOT?
My mother was recently operated for mastectomy post mammography and biopsy. Histopathlogy reports post surgery indicate they got all of the tumors out in the breast with negative margins. There were 2 tumors, both pathologically considered T2 (staging), as suspected by her imaging. However, her lymph nodes are involved (5+) and there are cells outside of the lymph nodes in her axillary region (N2 stage).
Both Oncosurgeon and Oncologist confirm she requires radiation and chemotherapy as next step of treatment.
However both Oncosurgeon and Oncologist were not ready to prescribe PET SCAN pre or post surgery and pre Chemotherapy or pre Radiation.
What could be the reason? When such huge amounts are being spend on surgeries and therapy why the hesitation for PET full body scan?
Would it not had given a better picture pre surgery?
Won't it give a better picture before starting chemotherapy and radiation especially when radiation is specific and focused and not for full body?

Fear of cancer due to hypochondria
Hi doctor,
I am suffering from hypochondria anxities since 4 eyear and only have fear of cancer. I have developed this fear by reading about different type of cancer and it symtoms in internet. I sue to do blood test every month for checking blood cancer. I do ultrasound to check for stomach cancer. I keep checking my body, neck , armpit for any swelling lymph node. I did MRI of brain twice to check brain cancer. I watch my stool for colon cancer.
I started my pyactric treatment since 8 moths for this but I am not finding any help. I am taking peroxitine 37.5 mg daily.
Now, i am having bad itching in my armpit and u am scared of some lymph nod le swell there. I did ultrasound of both armpit in 2020 and it was normal.
I am dieing due to this fear daily. Not able to concentrate in my normal life. Now, i am seeking suggetion from cancer doctor only. I am just 32. Please suggest ..dnt ignore
