  • Hello and thanks for your post

    I'm sorry to read about your situation.

    Having a PET scan will help your doctors find out more about the size and position of the cancer and whether it has spread. This information is important for planning the best treatment for you.

    I hope your treatment goes well. Give us a ring if you would like to talk things through. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
