Chelee,
My oncologists orders PET/CT every 3 months for me and I have never gotten a CD. I always ask for a copy of the report but I'm told that it takes a day or two to read the results. The technician does the test and then all the images are given to the doctor to read. If you are not due to see your oncologist within a few days, then I'd call his/her office and ask for the results of the test and for some clarification.
