"To diganose pancreatic cancer the Dr directed me to do PET scan explaining that it is save for my failing kidneys. However, the preparation for the test requires me to be 24 hours on a high protein diet that is going to be harmful for my kidneys. Moore over the NY Imaging that suppose to do the PET scan is located on Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn. This too far from me. I would gave the Dr 5 star if she gave me CT scan and sent me to Verazano imagine in Staten Island. I am not going for PET test and I am canceling my follow-up appointment."
