The doctor doesn't think a PET scan is necessary (I asked). The last PET scan I had was in May and it had a lot of hot spots on it becasue I was still healing from my colon resection. For some reason, the doctor doesn't think a PET scan is what I need now. Thanks for putting my mind at ease about the spots.
