Re: Waiting on PET Scan results
Jessica, I just had my PET Tues. and I usually get a call the following day good or bad. But not this time? My next appt is this coming Mon. the 12th so she may be waiting till then. I might give them a call today...but I'm hoping no news is good news as my onc knows I get mad if she doesn't call me especially if it's bad.
I do know in "most"...not all cases our onc's usually have the results in one day...so there really is no reason to make any of us wait. I hope they get back to you soon so that you can start making your game plan..and hopefully enjoy a break from Ixempra. You have really been hitting "it" hard...you've earned a break and then some! If you hear anything let us know. I will be keeping you in my thoughts for "good" news.
Chelee
