Rheumatologist phoned MRI of spine found cancer on right ovary and had referred to gynaecology for urgent consult. How long should I be expected to wait for a phone call as I am now in limbo.
I am sorry to hear that following an MRI scan you have been told that have ovarian cancer. While I know this is worrying you do now have to wait to see what the gynaecologist has to say about this and whether you need to have further investigations to see if it is definitely cancer
You might have to wait a couple of weeks for a phone call. It is also very likely that the gynaecology team will look at this MRI scan before they talk with you. Waiting to hear from them could be a difficult time and I am afraid to say that there is no way around this. I hope you have support and that you do not have to wait to long to find out exactly what is the matter.
