Welcome to OCF! Its always nice to have survivors join our group. You did a great job on your signature, thanks! smile

The PET is known for false positives. This is especially true when someone has an infection and swelling. Hopefully yours lit up as a result of the strep. Try your best to go about your life and not sit around fretting over the next 6 weeks. It wont change the test results and will only make you miserable.
