Pet Scan

Hi,

Is it usual for the radiologist to refer you for an urgent PET CT scan without a diagonise? 

I was referred for one at my initial breast surgery appt and am waiting for results now but I'm worried it means I definitely have cancer.

Thanks

  • Sorry I'm a bit all over the place I used the wrong terms.  I had an appointment after a 2 week referral at the breast clinic of the hospital and they done a mammogram, Ultrasound and took a biopsy -- I have a large lump and lymph nodes swollen.

     

    The radiologist referred me for a Pet scan which I had done 3 days later - I'm still waiting for results.   I just assumed it was normal procedure but from reading it doesn't seem to be and it's made me panic more.

     

    Thanks
