I'm so glad to hear you are going to a cancer center. I was diagnosed with stage 4 October of 2015. I have had some issues with my insurance but my Oncologist did a peer to peer conference with the Doctor from the insurance company and it was always approved.
I'm of the opinion that everyone needs to advocate for themselves. We have wonderful Doctors who are experts in medicine but only you are the expert of your body. Only you knows what "normal" feels like for you. Any variation from that is significant. In your initial message it sounded like you had the intuition that the PET was a good idea and you were right. Always believe your intuition and your body!
It sounds like yours is in an early stage. Even with a stage 4 things are going well, thanks to the marvels of modern medicine. I wish you the very best!
How about gold sprinkles of fairy dust to go with the pink and purple?
