Hi 

I’ve had tongue operation back in November and RT which ended in Feb. I’ve had 1 check up with a pet scan and consultant to say all was clear this was back in June. He was a bit cross that they had not booked me in for a MRI so had to wait and have that done end of June. He said he would cal me with results but never heard anything.  I was also told I would have 3 monthly check ups but not heard anything. I just have no idea if this is normal or should I be chasing them.

  • Hi - if it was me, I would follow it up. if you’ve not heard, it probably means there’s nothing to worry about. But confirming will put your mind at rest. It’s completely reasonable that you want the results from your scan - it’s your body. Do you have a CNS you can email or phone?

    Things are going astray as far as appointments are concerned but this needs chasing up. We need close monitoring for our first year.

  • In northern Ireland my local hospital I will get seen every month for the first year then every two months for year two, three months year three and so on until year five. I think that's very good.
