Hello,

I posted a comment/kind of question under the "if you starved cancer of glucose" post but think it got lost or ignored SO I'll throw it out here.

When I had my PET/CT scan I was told to eat no or very little carbs 24 hours before the test. I was also told not to vigorously exercise 24 hours before the test either. Why was that and what does that say about exercise in general? Don't get me wrong, I'm an avid exerciser (4 - 6 miles a day powerwalk/a little jogging) and wouldn't stop no matter what. It's actually a favorite part of my day. I'm not bringing it up to try to get out of exercise. Just curious.

Thanks anyone and everyone.

Mary Jo
