Thankyou for your encouraging response.
I am not sure I can just ask for a Pet scan and get one, but that would ease my mind for sure.
Will ask at my appt tomorrow

@gbnana I’m so sorry you are struggling through this. Advocating for our own health is so important AND sometimes so hard. Just write down what you want to say or ask. Then it kinda relieves our brain and we just read the words. You can even tell your doctor that you will be reading it. Just think of this , like a teleprompter. 🤗 Your doctor doesn’t know your concerns unless you tell them. I think a PET scan would be good to calm your concerns and ease the stress. Try and be firm when speaking of the PET scan. Maybe read up about purposes and results of the test. (Personally, I don’t k ie too much about them other than the name and ppl have them done). Knowledge is power. Puts you in the drivers seat. Good luck & blessings to you. Please come back and let us know regarding appointment.
