Hiya.  The first time I got breast cancer, I waited about a week for the results.  The second time I got it I had all the usual tests done on the same day, and I was told to wait outside for a couple of hours.  I was called back in and told the cancer had returned.   I think it is very hard to say whether or not a quick diagnosis or not is an indicator of what the results will be, but the waiting is very nerve racking and hopefully you will soon hear, good luck, Violet

It's not the case that it is more serious if the results take longer. Usually quite the opposite.

results are visible and available to someone after a scan very quickly, and if there were a serious immediate issue it would usually be flagged with you very quickly.

in many cases no news is good news, so don't panic!

Hi!

My husband went for a CT scan on the 7th June.  We got a call the following week on the 16th June asking us to attend the hospital the following Tuesday we thought waiting that long meant everything was ok because we assumed if it was anything bad they would have told us in a couple of days but unfortunately when we went to the hospital on the Tuesday they told us his cancer had come back after getting it all at his operation back in January this year. I think it really depends where you live etc how quick they give out results.
