Re: Pet Scanxiety!
Hi Adriana - thanks for writing. I'm so sorry you ended up with mets........I truly wouldn't be worrying at all about myself even after the Pet scan except for the weird pain in my chest that comes and goes. I had to remind my onc about this pain (he was acting like the uptake was no big deal) - and only then did he suggest I see the pulmonologist. If the pulmonologist shows any concern, they'll probably order the cat scan with contrast before doing anything invasive, which is fine with me (I'm terrified of needing a lung biopsy!) So I'm thinking positive thoughts - and sending some your way too - thanks again for sharing your advice.
