I imagine they are just checking to see if they can find what is going on, I would imagine best ring the Ovacome nurse or your gynae liason nurse and check with them. Wishing you well

The pet scan is a more detailed scan and can highlight any smaller growths that maybe there. It's just precautionary before surgery. Don't worry
