The Wait is so Upsetting

First I want to apologise for posting again as I realise a lot of people post about this issue but I am struggling so much.

I was referred on 2WW by my GP, seen very quickly for CT scan... But 3 weeks later, there is nothing. This wouldn't be as hard if it weren't for the fact no one answers when I call any of the numbers provided :sad: I realise people are busy... But I am so anxious and upset. It's easy to say no news is good news, but when I call my GP they say they have nothing, can see nothing on the system (which they have been able to see in the past when I have had hospital scans). So... I am left feeling like no one has even looked at my scans, which the GP requested as urgent.

:sad: I think the hospital must be very backed up right now, which I can appreciate and sympathise with, but it is so emotionally draining and hard not to fear the worst still.

    Sorry you are waiting on results. It's a horrid thing.

    Is this the only test result you are waiting on?

    Only if there are other related tests there could potentially be a wait before things go onto the system for GP to view. 

    Also, sometimes things have to be cleared by MDT, which happened to me once regarding a precancerous lesion – with MDT considering if margins sufficient or need for further surgery
