Jenka,

PETs only light up when there is cancer in there. The injection that you get prior to a PET is sugar-based, which goes directly to sugar-loving cancer cells. My hubby just had his first post-tx PET in May...it was nerve-wracking until the results came in...we had a hard time sleeping, but, all was well. Results were negatory for cancer.

Best of luck to you and as always, you and everyone here are in my prayers.
