Anxiously waiting for PET CT results

Deperately trying to keep calm during wait for PET CT results. This was after a 3.8cm.mass found on lung and report said malignancy highly possible,during a scan for something else. Apt for results with Consultant later next week. After scan I asked if I would be told results before this apt if thing were bad. Was told results would be with my Cons two days before my apt. Do you think if things were bad, I would be contacted before? Many thanks.

  • A very warm welcome to the forum TigerMouse although I'm sorry about to hear what the report said and for the anxious wait you now have until you can speak with your consultant.
