  • Hi Havefun231,

    A very warm welcome to our forum. 

    This is always an anxious wait. The waiting time for scan results can vary and can depend upon what type of cancer is being investigated, but it usually takes somewhere between 1 and 3 weeks. You won't be given any results over the phone, but the department that carried out your scan should be able to advise when they'll be available.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,
