Re: Pet Scan for Stage 1?
WolverineFan - did you get the PET scan? What was it like? Did you get any results yet?
I'm nervous about getting radioactive dye injected - the nurse on the phone today told me I need to stay away from nursing mothers and young children for 24 hours. That's not a problem in my house - but I asked about small animals, and she said it wouldn't be a problem. I'm supposed to fast for 6 hours - but drinking water is OK. Does that seem normal? I'm wondering if there are any SEs to this test I need to worry about. I'm scheduled to get it next Friday - do I need someone to drive me home? Thanks for any answers my friends!
