Also, my nearest oncologist appointment is three weeks after the scan. I don't think I can handle waiting this long to hear the results, so even if they do scan me then, I'll probably try and reschedule appointments for a closer date, although I've been bumped and bumped and bumped and I don't see anyone on a monthly schedule anymore. If it's 6 weeks, it's a blessing.
