Hope it turns out to be nothing of concern to you. If it is the dreaded OC again, it will have been caught very early which is good. PET scans are known to have false positives, its happened to me and scared me to death. Its easier said than done, but try your best to not worry. Hot spots on a scan could be due to an inflamation or an infection, so many things will set off the triggers.
