How long to get diagnosis after CT scan with dye

I recently found out that I have a lesion on my left kidney. I had a scan and a more detailed scan was organised injecting dye. I had this 2 days ago and am just wondering how long it will take them to contact me with the results and whether they will phone me or send an appointment through the post? Does anyone have experience of this?

  • Hi Rosco,

    I’m afraid it varies from one cancer centre or hospital to another. 

    In the past I would have confidently said “it takes about a fortnight and will be done face to face”. Since the pandemic and austerity that’s no longer always the case. 

    If you’ve not received an appointment letter within a week of your scan it would be worth giving them a call and politely asking the same question as you have here.

    Good luck!
