Hi Sam,

It really is a postcode lottery at the moment.
There’s been a National shortage of consultant radiologists for over ten years now AND it’s holiday season.
Routine scans usually take a month to be resulted - urgent ones less and emergency ones ought to be back in hours, rather than days.

It’s worth ringing your oncologist’s medical secretary, explaining that you’re naturally feeling anxious and ask if your appointment can be brought forward - maybe if someone else’s appointment is cancelled. As someone else has said, the report is often delivered to the consultant days in advance of your appointment. 

Good luck!
Dave

Hi Dave, 

Thanks for your message. Maybe being told it will take a month is reassuring, but yes, it would be definitely worth seeing if I can try and get those results sooner! Thanks for the advice! Sam x
