@Marie Mallory -- I just want to mention that there are specific instructions for preparing for a PET scan, so make sure to ask about prep when they schedule you. You must limit carbs/sweets for 24 hours and fast for 4-6 hours before the scan. Here are the guidelines and other information for diabetics just in case... CLICK HERE.

Thank you again Beth.I', rethinking some of the things about this for last couple days.
I welcome all the comments from you and others here.

First off from what I've researched even with treatment , I have months, not years since we know it has spread. Pärt of tailbone is gone, and cat scan ,MRI both confirm T12 and S 1 tumors.
What I have is Mastastis Choredoma.
I'm 76 and after smoking for 64 of those years I feel I lived a long life.
My friend and I bought out first pack of cig's at 12 yr old.We worked in restaurant washing dishes.

Marie,
I am not a doctor, but don't let your mind wander. Wait for your oncologist plan for treatment, if you've research from the internet it's not always accurate.
I know it really doesn't matter, but I'm pretty sure Mastastis Choredoma is not the results of smoking.
Make a list of questions/concerns for your oncologist, and make sure his answers satisfy you. Use that Marie wisdom that I've experienced over the years for positive thoughts.
