John just left for his first PET scan, we should have the results on Thursday. I’m hoping and praying for a clear scan (man scanxiety is so much worse when his blood work isn’t in normal ranges), but I feel like I need to arm myself with some information just in case. His Onc is horrible about communication outside of office visits so if I have questions I won’t get any decent answers until his next appointment.
I’ve been reading some of the posts on here about PET scans and it sounds like SUV values are how much of the glucose based tracker has pooled in an area? And spots with a high value means there might be something going on? What sorts of questions should I be asking?
