  • today my husband had an appointment to discuss pet scan results, after a suspicous x ray & ct scan with dye.
  • No pet scan results as not back. Doctor just said looks like lung cancer possibly in lymph nodes. MDT meeting next Tuesday to discuss results & biopsy to follow. Not sure which one, as neither of us can take it all in.
  • I always thought cancer was only diagnosed after all scan results & biopsies done?
  • All doc did was showed the ct scan of the lung mass. Sent my husband for a blood test, clotting I think as hes on thinners. Shes them telling me 5 days before biopsies/surgery thinners stopped
  • Requested a brain scan as well.

Is all this normal procedure? I cant remember half of what was said. 

Can cancer be diagnosed before all results in?

Not sure I've posted this in the right forum, as the link that was recommended wouldnt work

Devastated doesnt cover it....
