  • Hi Ivy and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    Your doctor would be in the best position to explain this to you and answer any follow up questions you may have so do be sure to get in touch with them when you can to discuss this in more detail.

    Hopefully some of our members who have had this test will pop by soon to share their experiences with you but our cancer nurses are just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040 so do give them a call if you feel having a quick chat with them about this may help. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Kind regards,
