I had a PET scan yesterday and never heard from the doctor. Tomorrow is Biopsy day.  IF something else showed up would not they have called? I just look at my report and it says pending until 2/25. Just wonder what the norm is for this. My CT scan doctor called me withing an hour of when it was done, to let me know the bad news.
