Hi @riffieli, It looks like you may have received the results of you PET scan before an appointment with your doctor to discuss what this means for you. This can cause a lot of anxiety. Members here on this forum can support you as you wait for your upcoming appointment. They know first hand what it's like to be worried about test results.

Your doctor is the person equipped to interpret these results along with your medical history and any other tests you've had done.

When is your upcoming appointment to discuss the results? Was the PET scan ordered as a routine follow-up? When did you have surgery?

I had my first surgery 8 months ago. My Oncologist was busy so I spoke to a nurse practitioner that I didn’t even know. I basically told her what it is. It is disaster!! Then after I told her she spoke to the dr called me back and said your Dr ordered an MRI of liver and right hip. So waiting to do that next Thursday. But in the mean time I’m trying to get answers. Btw I appreciate you responding
