hi yesterday i went for a pet scan and i recently was diagnosed with 2 nodules in my lung.  we dont know yet if they r cancer.  frightened to say the least. im 44 years old and have had my throid removed which had 3mm of cancer at the back of it. My consultant said this diagnosis is not in any way related.  Can any one tell me how long it takes for the results to come through or should i contact my consultant in a few days x

    Hi Karen,

    Welcome to our forum, although I'm sorry for the reason that you're here.

    It is always a good idea to ask at the time of any test just how long the waiting time for results is likely to be. This can vary from one hospital to another. If you haven't heard anything in a couple of weeks, phone your consultant's secretary and ask when they are likely to be back.

    I hope that they come back soon and that you have caught things early.

    Please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
