Is PET Recommended Over CT Scan To Examine Follicular Lymphoma?

With Grade 2 Follicular lymphoma diagnosis being diagnosed one year ago, and since the diagnosis, have changed my lifestyle dramatically with nutrition, increasing my exercise programme (I weigh 72Kilos), and reducing my stress levels, I have chosen to forgo immediate chemotherapy in the first instance. I am now going to have a follow-up bone marrow test and then a CT scan. My question is: would you recommed a PET scan over a CT scan? I guess with my healthy lifestyle changes and the fact that I feel so well, I just don t want to add any further unnecessary procedures so just wondered if you could give me some advice.
