Hello @Sister,
No problems, the procedure you are referring to is the Sentinel node biopsy and injection pre surgery. Prior to a PET scan, you have an injection of a small amount of a ‘positron-emitting’ radioactive material (called a radiopharmaceutical), images are then taken of the body using the PET scanner.
