I phoned the chemo doctor and I was right about my concerns. She said she'd call the PET facility right away and get the data transmitted...she said OF COURSE we need to take that info into consideration! I have the MUGA today, and she said that would take another 24 hours to get the info. And then that my date to start chemo was just a placeholder and that it might change.
Can't tell you how worried I've been all weekend that the process was going too fast. Must admit that I couldn't have made it through without Xanax.
I just want any decisions to be made using all the data they will have.

Edited to add: I went, in person, to the chemo doctor's office, and the woman at the desk took time to clarify for me that yes, all tests would be taken into consideration. Because what was found was so large, it most likely has determined my treatment, but I feel better now, knowing that yes, all the data will be considered.

Fun note: when I went to the lab to get the disk from my PET scan they gave me someone else's report...I didn't even notice until I got to the part where it mentioned the "surgically absent gall bladder." Luckily, we were still in the parking lot and I ran back in to get the correct report!
