SSA = somatostatin analogues
In the UK the MDT (multidisciplinary teams) have a max of 6 weeks to review CT scans. There are two main issues: a CT scan is not as clear as a PET scan but less stress on the body. This makes it more difficult to assess any progress. The second issue is that this last scan is more seen as a benchmark scan and regression of the Tumor is apparently not expected. Will get the results coming Wednesday, fingers crossed.

@pete1962,

I hope that the results that you get on Wednesday will provide you with good results and a treatment plan going forward.

Will you post an update as it's convenient for you?
