I recently had chart radiotherapy for a recurrence of lung cancer ( 36 treatments) . I have now received my scan date and the anxiety has already started. How soon after my scan will I be told the results?

Hello Reet16
I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had a recurrence of lung cancer. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about your upcoming post-treatment scan. I think most of our members here will understand that scanxiety is real and we know that waiting for tests and results can be a really difficult time.
Hopefully, you won't have to wait too long for the results. Most people seem to have news within a couple of weeks but it may be worth asking when you go for the scan how long it will take for the results.
In the meantime, if you want to talk things through with one of our team of nurses you're most welcome to give them a call. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040 and I' ensure they will offer any advice and support that they can.
Keep in touch and let us know how you get on.
Best wishes,
Jenn
