MRI results

Good Afternoon,

My husband had a MRI on his prostate on Tuesday is it normal for the results to be in 3 days after, not sure if I need to prepare myself and him for news which we dont want.

Sorry for the questions just feeling unsettled

    Our information page on the MRI scan mentions that you normally would get your results within 1 or 2 weeks but these are just estimates and it is not uncommon for these to come through earlier or later so don't read anything into the fact that the results were in 3 days after. The good side of this is that you have less time to wait for these important answers as the wait for results is never easy and we have some helpful tips I suggest you have a look at to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

    It is normal to feel unsettled and I am keeping everything crossed for you that it turns out to be nothing of concern. Have you managed to access the results already or will you be having an appointment soon to discuss these? 

    I hope that you will hear from others on the forum who have been through something similar before and that they will drop by and say hello and share their experience with you. 

    Best wishes,
