MRI

I had an MRI of my ear 5 weeks ago and still no results.  I keep thinking nothing could have been found to leave it this long? Wadte of time phoning as noone answers and have left messages with Consultants' Secretary but remain unanswered. How long have others waited?

  • Hi, I'm sorry you are waiting. It's the worst part isn't it?!!

     

    I actually waited around 6 weeks after my first biopsy to then be told I needed a cone biopsy which then only took 2 weeks. I've had scan results take 3 weeks and also 3 days! I have realcently had an mri which was 12 days ago and still no news 
     

    I know it's easier said than done but just keep calling them. 
    I was on first name terms when I was ringing daily for my results last Christmas. The receptionist/Secutary was only 1 lady. Needed breaks and also worked 4 days a week (sometimes sick too they are only human) . That and the back log I am sure they are pressured. I'm not saying they have forgotten you but it's easy to be bogged down by work load.

     

    another aspect might be that the results have gone back to your GP? have you tried calling them? 
     

    a lot of the time they ring on unknown numbers so make sure you are answering your phone or you will miss them.
