Welcome Dan! Three weeks feels long I know but usually they have prep work to do prior to... The pet is one of them, bloodwork, and usually a Preop as well - plus depending on the results of the scan they may bring other team members on board. I thoroughly understwnd your desire to get it out (that was me as well) three weeks isn't too bad. Though I do agree with Christine a comprehensive cancer center is the plce to be. Take care, welcome, and good luck with the surgery
