I'm having my first PET next Tuesday (I'm 2 years since the end of radio), and it was handy that this discussion arose now. The CT scans haven't really shown why my parotid is enlarged, on the side of the tumour.

Gail, I haven't heard about reducing sugar intake prior, but it sounds quite logical...so no banana smoothies or fruit juice on Monday? wink

Not really looking forward to the PET, but I do want to know why I'm sore and swollen in that area. Anyone else had such a problem?

Cheers!
