          I have received 15 PET scans since August 2014. Since being diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma in August 2015, I have had a PET scan about every 4 months.

            My husband was diagnosed in March 2012 and has had quarterly PET scans since then.

              Stage IV February 2016. Had to stop treatment August 2017 after 4 ippi/nivo and 16 keytruda treatments because of too much inflammation. I’ve been getting Pet/ct scans every 6 months now. Next Pet scan scheduled for end of July. Fingers crossed.

                I was diagnosed with stage 3b melanoma in June 2017. The only PET scan I’ve had is right after I was diagnosed. But I have had a CAT scan every 3 months since then as part of the clinical trial I’m on.
