I just had my PET done today. I am not patient at all with waiting and my oncologist knows this. He usually calls me within 2 days to let me know the results. If not, I call them. I see my Oncologist on Friday and expect him to have the results then. I have seen some patients wait a week or more for results which is not right. The place that does the scans told me the doctors usually get the results in 24 hours...sherry
