Hi Barb,

My husband is scheduling his second CT/PET scan. Actually it is being rescheduled. We went last Saturday morning and the machine was broke. That was a real let-down. We have to prepare ourselves all over again. Anyhow, his instructions are no carbs or sugar for 48 hours before the test, no strenous activity for 24 hours before the test and nothing to eat or drink 5 hours before the test (except small sips of water). I wish I could tell you they get easier as time goes on but it doesn't seem like they do. Good luck!
