PETSCAN, nodules, and Addison Diseas

[kitonthemoon]

I'm scheduled to have a PETScan this Friday to find out the nature of 3 nodules discovered at lower lobes of my lungs via CT scan this June.  

Does Anyone/doctors here knows if a Addison Disease patient will survive this seemingly long, long test?

Hi.

There are no specific risks with PET scan dor Addison's patients. The scan should be done in the presence of a support team.
