What advice have they given you before the scan? There are a number of things you are not supposed to eat within 24 hours before scan -- e.g. foods high in carbohydrates and sugar, caffeine and other things -- and you are also not supposed to exercise strenously. No food of any sort within 6 hours of the scan, only water. If you take meds, they must be taken with water. The idea is to be glucose-depleted the mornng of the scan so that the cancer cells take up the radioactively-labeled glucose and thus show up during the scan.

We were given a list of things to do (and not do) -- however that did NOT excluse his taking his Evoxac (newer but similar type of drug as Salagen). My husband took his Evoxac before both his scans. (Which came out fine.)
