7 days agoWaiting for staging results can feel incredibly overwhelming, especially when doctors withhold details until all tests are complete. Many people in this community share that the waiting period between diagnosis and staging can be one of the most challenging parts, as it's natural to want answers right away. The PET and MRI scans will help your medical team determine the complete picture and create the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific situation.
