Glad you are feeling calmer and more confident that this was a case of another false positive PET. Those darn things can scare a person to death! Best wishes with your upcoming test.
Make sure you follow the these directions for the next test. Rest for at least 24 hours preceding the test and drink lots of water (minimum of 48oz), avoid carbs and sugar. This will help you to get a more accurate PET.
