Well today I go for my pet scan . I got the all clear in may for base of tongue and lymph nodes both sides. Consultant said there was probably swelling showing up in main area as a glow on the screen which he showed me Hence my scan today. So today is a big day and I have my fingers crossed and everything else
Ah I see you're home.

Hopefully that's the last of it for a while. Fingers crossed you don't have to wait too long. Your consultant should have the results in 48hrs

Hi In case Dani doesn’t see message until morning. MDT stands for multi disciplinary team meeting. They will have a designated day once a week where they gather and discuss new patients and existing patients scans. Mine met on a Monday and then I got results a week later. They scans have to be reviewed then discussed. I was 10 days from pet ct scan to results.
hope this helps.

Thanks Hazel Yes they meet every Friday but I dont know if the team or just the consultant deals with it. I might get in contact with my head nurse in a few days . Thanks for the heads up Regards Minmax
No problem it doesn’t hurt to contact nurse. I use my Macmillann nurse if I need to know anything.
