The PET scan or CT is something that should be done on every check up. Its sometimes inconvenient to go back but for your own good health you must. I get regular chest xrays and CT scans. My doc watches a small dark spot on my lung. Ive had this for a while and I dont let it change my daily life. I wish you all the best with this. Please dont let it steal your time from you.
