Why are scan results taking so long

I've been waiting 3 agonizing weeks. 

What is happening?

Tried phoning the secretary. She's not at her desk.

Leave a message.

Yep no reply

  • I'm sorry you're having to wait but I'm nearly four weeks on from an urgent CT scan ordered by the consultant himself, still no results but it's called being patient Fallmare and we all have to wait until they are ready, ringing will not make it come faster.  Hopefully we will both be wiser soon.

  • Morning carol

    Sorry to hear that your waiting too. 

    My consultant knows I suffer from extreme health anxiety and last time I got thr results in 2 weeks. 

    My anxiety is all over the place. 

    Lets hope we hear soon x

  • Hello and thank you for your post.

    Waiting for results can be very difficult, especially if you are worried but I am afraid there is no way around this. I am sorry to say that I don't think there is anything you can do about this. 

    I see you tried to contact your medical team via their secretary, do leave a message if you are prompted  and I am sure someone will be in touch but still may not be able to tell you your result.

    I hope you have support from family and not wait too much longer.

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Take care,

    Caroline

  • Hello Caroline 

    Thankyou for replying to me

    I rang and left a message with his secretary but still no reply from her.

    I suppose I'll just have to wait
