Sitting here waiting for this radioactive stuff to move around my body. Feeling alone and very tired after a busy week. Hopefully this is the last hurdle before I get some answers.
i hope you don’t mind me jumping on the post, my das has pet scan tomorrow and biopsy next Thursday I was just wondering how long it took for the results? Doctor has already confirmed my dad has cancer so we are no waiting to find if it’s spread or what stage he is at? Wait is killing me. I hope you are doing well x
I was sent for a pet scan a few days after failed endoscopy and successful CT scan. I unfortunately didnt get results for approx 3 weeks. I think they wanted all the evidence before telling me but if I'm.honest I had already come to terms with what it was and what I would need to do. It's definitely a scary time. I dont mind if you have questions. We are all here to help xxx
After my dads ct scan the doctor had already told him he has cancer in the lung so we are now waiting for biopsy and pet scan we know what we are dealing with just praying it is manageable. I hope you are ok, sending lots of love your way xx
Hi, I waited a couple of weeks for the PET scan results & a week for the lung biopsy results as they were convinced it was cancer. Thankfully it was just inflammation which cleared up by itself in a couple of months. The worst bit is the waiting. I wish your dad and your family all the best xxx
I am 18 months post op. I suffer with acid reflux a lot. I am currently awaiting some tests for what was thought to be a hernia but has been discovered as not a hernia. My team just wanna investigate and check. I am ok all in all though. Hope you are well x
Hi sorry old post, I had pet scan on Wednesday for lung shadows found on a routine ct scan after endometrial hysterectomy, MDT rang today oncologist wants to see me lst thing Tuesday. That’s fast I’m really worried. I’m sure if was nothing would have told me on phone. That’s a fast result isn’t it

Hi huni sorry to hear you're having to have tests etc. I had a endoscopy and CT on a Thursday and got a call Monday to have PET scan. They told me at the endoscopy it was 50/50 chance of cancer. I had to wait until after I had had all the tests before being told anything at all. Then when they said it was cancer I had to wait for laparoscopy before i could find out stage etc. All I can do is say what I done. I would hope they would just rather talk to you face to face to be more professional and talk through everything. I really hope everything is OK but I am here if you need to talk
They that said were shadows, oncologist said were vague, but Cos just had treatment for endometrial said was best to check. I wished would just of said this is what i think it is but we need tests. So have had ct and now pet, do u think a biopsy will now follow this
Hi shaky.only just noticed your back on forum, I know its terrable putting on weight I had same trouble with one of my meds, its taken over three years to get where I feel good, three stone off.
Hope things are going well with you, take care keep safe and positive.
Hey hun hope you're well. I have the opposite problem trying to get weight back on. I lost 8kg through my journey and I was only 9stone to start with. Hopefully I will get there soon
Shaky so sorry you've lost so much, hope that it comes back as muscle and not fat. Alot healthier for you.
I'm not bad now, my cancer decided to give me a good bite beginning of last year, went on different treatment and plenty of other problems could hardly do anything including low BP, dosage change helped but still low BP but cancer is going down again.
Brenda is getting stronger and getting around with a walker despite being diagnosed with Altzimers and Parkinson's plus brain desease, and last year she was like a zombie couldn't talk hardly move at all or feed herself.
Please keep in touch its lovley to talk to you again.
