Pet scan

Hi just had a pet scan after getting pain in stomach and ct scan showed thickening at site of colon operation now got pain in armpit guessing this is my lymph nodes ? Could this be the result of liquid received for pet scan or to do with stomach pain.  Worrying while waiting for results 

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    Waiting on scan results can be very stressful, and it's natural to feel worried. But I’m afraid until the results are known no one can tell you anymore just now.

    I appreciate that you want to get as much information as you can before you go to the hospital, but unfortunately it is not possible to anticipate what they are going to tell you. Waiting in circumstances like this is never easy but I’m afraid there is no real way round this. Some people find talking it through with family and friends and keeping busy can sometimes help. But until you know more it’s natural to worry.

    I hope you know more about your situation soon and that everything turns out to be okay. Give us a ring if you want to talk any of this over.The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,
