Mri scan

I had 2 skin cancer sites removed, one on arm the other raised on my back. The results came back with needing an mri to see if cells still there. Got to hospital on Sunday to be told mri on head only. I thought it was for back and top to toe so why head only. No results till June 12th. 

  • Hi Mrs-Bill and thank you for your post.

    I'm sorry to read about your situation. I appreciate that this is a worrying time for you.

    It is difficult for us to specify why the MRI only focused on your head and not the rest of your body as we are not directly involved in your care. The best person to consult is your hospital specialist, who has all your medical information, and hopefully they will be able to provide some clarity.

     I am sorry I cannot be more helpful on this occasion.

    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.

    Kind regards

    Tina
