Contrast MRI

I had a brain mri on 24th Feb.  6 days later I got a letter telling me there was an 8mm signal change and I needed a contrast MRI which was done on 22nd March. I haven't heard anything since.  I'm working on the theory that the contrast was okay as I haven't heard.  What are others experiences?  I keep having syncope and fits and am unable to drive.  How long do results take with or without findings? 
 

  • Hello TinkerB

    I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with some ongoing health concerns at the moment and that you've not had any news back following your most recent scan. 

    We know that for many people this period of uncertainty whilst waiting for results and appointments can be really difficult. It's good to hear that you're taking a positive approach that no news is good news. I know that for many people this helps to make the waiting a little easier. 

    I certainly don't think there's any harm in contacting the Consultant's secretary after the Easter break and asking about when you may get an update. Hopefully it won't be too long and at least you'll have a time frame to work too. 

    If you'd like to chat with one of our nurses whilst you're waiting for news, they're back in the office after the bank holiday weekend and are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. 

    I hope you have some answers soon TinkerB. Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
