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?

    I can understand how unsettling it is waiting for tests and then results but  I would wait a few more days and then contact the  urology secretary if you haven't heard anything.

    As I am not involved in your care I am not sure if they are planning any further tests but hopefully they will let you know soon. You may hear from other members but everyone's situation is different so it is difficult to compare one person's experience with another.

    Do give the nurses a ring on the helpline if you would like to go through anything.

    Our number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    All the best,
