Sorry to hear this.
PET scans are rarely used in the setting of Colorectal Cancer. Cancer cells have higher metabolic activity and will uptake Glucose at a faster rate than the average cell. This is how the Docs can see where else the cancer is in the body. That's probably what they're trying to do.
I'd assume aggressive Chemo is the next course of action.
