Hello and thanks for posting,

It can take a couple of weeks or so for a report to be done and forwarded on to the referring doctor. This can vary a little.

I can appreciate that this is an anxious time, and hope that you have the support of friends and family. Keeping busy and occupied can help too.

Best wishes,

Vanda

Just phoned up the hospital. Been told that the CT results are back and the surgeons are waiting to 'put together a plan' and someone will call soon. 

Just updating this. The CT results came back next working day, I am now under a colorectal surgeon consultant rather than A&E and am being discussed in an MDT this week. I still have not been given a diagnosis.

Hi there Max2023 and thanks for the update

This must be an anxious time for you knowing that the results are back and that you will be discussed at the next MDT.

Hopefully the hospital team will contact you soon with an appointment to talk through what has been found and the next steps

Sit tight as best you can for now and you know where we are if you need to ask questions or talk anything through. The helpline is open weekdays 9-5 on 0808 800 4040 if you would like to speak over the phone.

Wishing you all the best

Hi Naomi,

Thank you. I am just a bit confused. I have gone from a scan to an MDT with nothing in between. 

Hello, and thank you for your further post.

It is not unusual to have scans and then have the results discussed at the MDT without speaking with someone beforehand.

Once everything has been discussed, the hospital will be in contact with you.

I can appreciate it can be an anxious and stressful time waiting but I hope you can get some answers soon,

Take care

Jemma

Don’t worry, there’s nothing in between.
At the MDT the scan will be discussed, if there’s enough evidence a diagnosis will be agreed. If not, further scans or tests will be ordered. A lead clinician will be agreed and they will be who you next see to discuss treatment options.

Good luck!
Dave

Thank you Jemma and Dave.
