Results for prostate cancer

Hi, 

5 years ago my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He had his prostate removed and radiation therapy. 
However, 8 weeks ago my father's PSA was 13, meaning the cancer has returned. 6 weeks ago he had a CT Scan and 3 weeks ago he had a bone scan. How long should he have to wait to get his results as no one is telling us anything and we was told it was a maximum of 2 weeks, He has been to see his GP weekly but they keep saying they don't have the results. What should be do?

    My dad had a CT and MRI about a month ago now for a prostate cancer diagnosis and we are only due to get the results back today! 

    Sorry you're playing the waiting game, it can certainly be frustrating. 

    We received the letter about getting the results in a phone call maybe a week ago. 

    Seems normal to have to wait around but as Eddie mentioned, call every so often and chase it up. You don't know if you dont ask.
