Hi all. I was treated at Ninewells hospital in Dundee and had my PET CT scan on monday. They have been analysed already.  Do they give you the results before the follow up meeting or at the meeting?  I know Peter was there as well so if he’s reading this I’d appreciate some feedback. 

many thanks everyone 

  • Well done onwards and upwards. 

    Enjoy holidays remember factor  50 on face and neck.

  • Thank you Peter. I was so grateful they brought the review forward by a week so only one weeks wait.  Gemma had a cancellation and popped me in. Next visit is in August 

  • My husband deserves the break as much. He’s been amazing. The day I had my last radiation I bought him a nice bottle of brandy as a thank you. We’re looking at a canal holiday somewhere in England 

  • Yup I bought a wide floppy sun hat and Nivea 50. I am ready. We’ve been kayaking already. 

  • Gemma is a star Star2 as are all of the team members...my next ENT review is later on in June ....canal hol sounds great .... chilling out.... stopping at the lovely waterside inns for refreshments and food.

  • well, I'm feeling a little deflated.. 2 weeks to the day since my PET-CT and still no news.. rang the CNS this morning but nothing has come through.. I was hoping to be doing the can can in celebration by now.. but still in limbo..

    on a lighter note.. I have the music going in my head now, and I can picture Rob De Niro dancing around in a dress (Stardust)

  • I was fortunate. Scan on Monday, analysed on Tuesday , team met on Wednesday and then offered to see me following Tuesday

  • Hopefully the old adage ''No news is good news'' will apply here

    .....as for the Can Can? I was watching Suzi Quatro the other day on telly  ''Can the Can''...not as spectacular but much less energetic ....maybe
