I was just wondering how long people had to wait for results of pet scan. I have already been told I have prostate cancer  . I know it must be different depending on hospital .I was just trying to get a general idea

It took nearly four weeks to get my PSMA PET scan results. This was a post surgery scan due to rising PSA. I'm assuming yours is to check for any spread to local lymph nodes etc. Waiting for all the answers is always an anxious time. You just want to get on with your treatment, whatever that might be.

In my case it took 3 weeks. I’ve found that chasing up everything helps, including the PET scan results.

I waited 6 weeks for the formal response although my Oncologist did tell me that all appeared ok after about 2 weeks.

Phoned up urology today and asked if I could have any information about results be 14th June. I did say I realised this was the earliest appointment. All the consultant would say to secretary was this was the earliest appointment and that was it.so I have another 4 weeks of worry
