Just remember that often your first PET scan will show a false positive, so try not to freak out too bad if that happens. It happened to us and then an MRI proved the spot to just be inflammation. It was extremely stressful for a few days, and it has happened to many of us. Just FYI!!
I think the medicine he is talking about iis also called the "magic mouthwash". Works great for a short term fix while you eat/drink.
