Has anyone been treated for tonsil cancer at Addenbrookes? I am due to have a PET scan post treatment and am wondering what the time frame is from having the scan to getting the results. Appreciate this may differ for each hospital.

  • Almost all PET scans are contracted out to a private provider so the result will be with your consultant fairly quickly.    When I had mine post treatment the hospital had already scheduled in an appointment to discuss them.  In any case I would suggest that a maximum of 2 weeks post scan is about the right timeframe.
