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 

  • It’s the waiting game. It’s so sad that everything takes so much longer. Having a bank holiday won’t help either. Hugs and go do the can can but video it for us please.

  • Oh that is a bummer.  It seems some hospitals plan it all out and others do it by the seat of their pants.  I knew when my PET was and the follow up appointment ages ago.  It makes it so much harder on you not knowing.  Loz, tell them to hurry up with your results so I can celebrate good news for you.
