Deb,

The PET scan isn't so bad. If you are claustrophobic, close your eyes. The thing I don't like about all the tests and xrays is "Hold your breath" as I am never sure if I am breathing in or out and have trouble holding my breathfor long. I had to take Red Cross swimming three times(class, audit class, class) to pass for gym because I breathed in water instead of air.
