Hi
my husband has just been diagnosed with lower lobe tumour. He had all the tests and the Radiotherepy all booked . But we have now been told it’s grown since last scan and the Radiotherapy drs need a new PET scan to be accurate . But he’s worried whether my husband will get it quickly as the Xmas period is difficult . He only had the last pet scan 3 months ago and the tumour is larger. If we can’t get a pet scan for weeks then they will have to delay the Radiotherepy . So how much larger will it get if left . I’m concerned not sure what to do . Thank you got any advice
