NM PET CT Skull Base to Midthigh ( Prostate Cancer) I'm 62 years old.

I just received my results from my NM PET CT scan (Skull Base to Midthigh) today. I don't know how to read them. If anyone has any idea what this means, I'd appreciate it. Otherwise, I'll have to wait for my appointment with the urologist. I'm really scared, to be honest.
