Scan results waiting time

Hello..I've been a cancer patient for almost 11 years now. I've never been in remission but manage to live a fairly normal life. 

My question is how long is reasonable to wait for scan results? I used to get them the same day but over the last couple of years I've waited for anything up to 3 weeks..I don't have an appointment to get the results I normally just get an email or a call. 

How long do others wait for results? 

  • Hi Caz..that seems a long time to wait.

    Have you called his GP? They may have the results there.

    Good luck and I hope you get the results soon .

    Hi Essmum,

    Thank you for your good wishes. If your scan was only a few days ago, you'll probably have to wait a wee while yet.

    Kind regards,

    Hi,

    Just an update on my clinic appointment to have the stitches in my face removed today. I told the nurse who was taking the stitches out that I had been fine with everything, except my return date. She went off and brought my surgeon back to see me. When he heard how long I was having to wait, He went off and phoned his secretary. He came back to tell me that my results were back already, as he had marked them urgent last week.

    He then told me that both lesions were clear. They still have to hold their MDT meeting and, will be discussing my case, as both lesions had an unusual presentation.

    He then discharged me. I can't quite believe it.

    Regards,

  • Wow!

     

  • Jolamine that's great news.

    Must be such a relief and thankfully no long wait for the results :)

    Hi Dave,

    I hope that you are doing ok.

    Hi Dragonfly,

    I can hardly believe it - some good news for a change.

    How are you keeping?

    Kind regards,

    Yes, it is a tremendous relief.

  • Hi Jolamine

    I have ups and downs.

    still taking tablets to shrink the tumour but they keep reducing them.

    Just wish they would take it out and give me chemo or something.
