Hello everyone,

I am waiting for the results of an urgent CT scan on my liver due to a large lesion found during an ultrasound. I contacted the hospital that carried out the scan and they confirmed the scan had been reported and sent back to my consultant. I have been trying to contact the consultants secretary for the last week without any joy but managed to speak to her this morning. I am even more stressed now (if thats possible) than I was before I spoke to her.

She confirmed the results had been reported back but that they were on a 'go slow' and that the consultant hadnt looked at the report yet. She said that she would send him a message and ask him to look at the report but that it probably wouldnt be today.

Now dont get me wrong, I know that I am one of many awaiting such results but to be so vague and give me the impression that my results are not important left me speechless.

The cancer they suspected was HCC which if I am correct in my research is a fast, agressive type of cancer and I would have thought they my results would be looked at promptly but it appears not.

If the cancer doesnt kill me then the distress this waiting is causing certainly will.
