Dave is right about the CT scan but in my experience the PET normally does the whole body.  You are injected with glucose which apparently cancerous cells absorb and show up that there is activity in those places - and how much activity.  It is a good tool to see if the cancer has spread to other areas.

It is a good idea to ask the radiology team what was scanned though and it will stop you wondering about it, so give them a call on Monday and put your mind at ease.

I hope the results are good and that treatment works well for your husband x
