Waiting for CT scan results

Hi

iv come across this thread and can see it goes way back. Anyone had an update on people's results etc. 
I have blocked nose on and off. Ear ache and pain in my cheek and teeth, also headaches and feel wiped out. I was treated for sinus infection with two courses of antibiotics which didn't do a thing. Also had nasel sprays. This was all diagnosed over the phone as we can't see our gps face to face. I decided after being referred to an ENT that's could take upto 8 months on the nhs I went private. Got seen in a week and got CT scan two days later 

I'm so worried about the results. Do you think they would have been intouch quicker if it was bad news?

  • Hi kodi 

    I have an appointment with the ent dr on Monday. But I'm in so much pain today I just couldn't stand a weekend of not knowing again. It will be 4 weeks on Monday I have waited for results. This appointment was booked before I even had the scan so this is quick apparently. People say surely they would get intouch earlier if it's something bad, I did try to call the ent doctor today but could t get through at all. Can I ask what your symtems are please? My cheek is numb now and my eye is constantly streaming it's so painful 

  • I'm the same I thought I can't go through another weekend . 
    I rang too and the secretary said it's their ready to be reviewed and all she could do was message them and said I was chasing the results and anxious . 
    Again I stayed by the phone and no call . 
    The first symptoms were trouble swallowing pain in throat and chest and abdomen liver and spleen area apparently . I've never smoked or drink .

    i had an urgent gastroscopy which showed gastritis and bits but no cancer . 
    She said she was sending me for an urgent ct scan which I had in 3 days a week ago . 
    I'm really nauseous which could be the treatment . 
    I still have all the symptoms and swollen nodes in the neck which I've told them but they haven't scanned the neck which I think is the problem . 

  • Also I read the doctors have to start face to face appointments on Monday . 
    I would ring first thing or even go to out of hours .

    its not good you're in so much pain x

  • Hi 

    I think i will just wait for Monday's appointment with my ENT my doctors are rubish. I hope all goes well with your results. It's so bad having to wait so long. 4 weeks has felt like a life time. My CT scan was on my neck, brain and face. I think they are looking at my maxillary sinus. Pain is so much worse at night., 

     

    fingers crossed no news is good news 

  • Wishing you lots of luck for Monday . 
    let's hope for the best outcome that whatever we have is treatable .
