I am 79 years old and have recently been diagnosed with stage 111c prostate cancer ,Gleason 9
My consultant requested Pet scan to check for spread as I am getting hip pains.
On the morning of the scan appointment just 20 minutes before I was told the the scan had been cancelled due to tracer shortage.
The scan has been rescheduled for two weeks later. This has prevented the start of hormone treatment and caused further stress and concern that the delay will affect the outcome of my condition
