Chest PET CT

Hi everyone,

I guess I don't really know why I'm posting on here, I just think I need to be heard? I don't know it's strange. My mum has had a PET CT scan today and has an appointment with the consultant in a weeks time. The scan was of her lungs as they did a scan a few months ago and said that she had pneumonia..... cough can back but had changed (the sound) had another scan and the consultant then wrote to her saying she was referring her for a PET as the shadow had changed in shape and size in comparison. I'm worried......

  • Hi Dd1983 and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry for the worries that are playing on your mind at the moment. I think our members will agree that it's completely natural to feel this way when supporting someone who is waiting for results and I'm sure you'll receive some support and advice from them soon.

    We'll have our fingers crossed all goes well with the consultant next week Dd1983.

    Kind regards,
