Hello and thank you in advance for all your help in this matter.
My husband has secondary lymph. (from surgery and radiation) that can NOT be manually drained and is hard to the touch,and extremely painful.
His doctor wants him to have a PET scan, with radioactive material going into the body will the material pool in the neck like the lymph does?? Has anyone here had a PET scan and what were the side effects?? Does anyone know of a web site that addresses on this that I can print for his doctor. His doctors do not understand why we are concerned they only want him to have test done regardless of the possible side effects.
