What happens after scans?

After you have had scans and tests what usually happens next. I had tests last Friday and was told by GP this morning ct scan was inconclusive and would be fast tracked for another but it would be done on cancer ward. Now i have been made an appointment made to go in next Tuesday to see consultant. I have prepared myself for the worst but wondering if this is the usual routine for patients in getting diagnosis.

  • Hi junio

    Nothing about cancer seems to be routine.  I also think that it depends on which hospital how you are progressed.

    The fact that you have been fast tracked is in one sense a good thing because if there is anything then the sooner they find it the better.

    I know this is easier said than done but try not to worry keep yourself occupied and when questions pop into your head write them down so you can ask when you see the consultant.  If you can take someone with you are 4 ears are better than 2.

    Good luck for next week
