Cooper,

The cancer center I’m at now gives your the results of a PET/CT right after it’s done when I go back to see my ENT in the same building.

Other places i was treated didn’t give you the results right away, so I went to the Radiology Center the next day to pick up my copy and read it myself. Sometimes it did say it was suspected cancer, so if you can handle that it’s a way to go.

I hate waiting, so once I ordered my own FNAB without seeing a doctor, which proved cancer anyway, which I don’t recommend. So then I had to see my doctors and explain myself. Being I had so many doctors, I was able to get by or it didn’t matter at that point.

I hope your doctor calls back today because waiting is the worst!
