My Scans are done, now what?
I will schedule you to meet with Dr. Hawk or one of the doctors from Breast Thermography Institute (BTI). It usually takes 4-7 days for me to get your full report back, so we will schedule your next appointment 7-14 days out. At that appointment, the doctor will cover the most important information and answer your questions. You may need coaching, follow-up, or other imaging procedures. The doctor will let me know. I will reach out to help you organize your next steps.
Again, if you have any questions or concerns, Iām here to help.
~Jenny
