Fdg pet

[mmoons]

Hi friends,

I am blessed and happy to say that because I am so flipping busy at work that I have not been thinking much about all my aches and pains (sounds crazy but I LOVE my job). However, my sternum has been so sore.
I mentioned it in my 6 month check up and my fastidious oncologist ordered a bone scan. Scan came back with “uptake at ribs 8,9 and 11”.

So she ordered a “FDG PET”. Anyone know what that is? Same as a regular PET CT?

I am sure it is fine. My spidey senses are not tingling. :)

Hugs to all of you,
Maureen
