Post ct scan results

Hi. I’ve had a repeat cat scan 6 weeks after my last chemo. Just wondering how will I get results? Will it be an appointment to go in and see the consultant even if it’s good or bad news? Or will he phone me and tell me over the phone? Thanks 

  • Hi, we are in a similar position but in my husband's case, the phone appointment was set up at the time of the scan. we're hoping a phone consultation means they are not expecting bad news, but maybe it's wishful thinking! Have you contacted t he specialist nurses to ask?

  • Hello and thanks for posting

    Individual hospitals can vary in the way their patients receive their results. They can be given them face to face, ( even when it is good news) by letter, or telephone.

    I hope this helps and you know more soon. 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.

    Best wishes,

    Celene
