First time doctor orders an FDG scan Is it a bad sign?

@jeffmarc The original poster seemed to be worrying about why the doctor ordered an FDG scan. I was trying to offer an explanation. I didn’t mean to comment on looking for neuroendocrine cancer. Sorry for any confusion.

Since the FDG scan is not capable of seeing prostate cancer, since it does not consume glucose, The only reason I can imagine they would want that scan is for neuroendocrine cancer.
