We’ve used a private one one in Cheltenham, called Cobalt, I don’t know where you are though.
You will need a Doctors letter to get a private scan, the results will be sent to you and your Doctor.

And where was it?

My oldest, and best, friend has lymphoma and has now lost the use of her kegs. Her consultant wants her to gave an MRI but the waiting list is about a month.

They have tried all the private hospitals in the area but the waiting lists are also long.

She is wondering about using one of the companies offering just scans (one called Vista) - anyone here used one?
