Sorry you didnt have the best experience.
The OCF forum has info on how to prepare for PET scans. There is a whole system to getting the best results. Drink extra water, rest, avoid carbs and sugar all for at least 24 hours prior to the test. This helps to avoid the false positives. Now you know for any future PET scans so you will be ready.
Good luck!!!!
