Waiting for CT colonoscopy results - how long have you waited?

I have massive health anxiety and wondering how long people wait for CT colonoscopy scan results 

Do things flag up straight away or does it take ages for it to be looked at 

  • Hello Sam4092, 

    According to our website page on the CT colonography it can take up to 1 to 2 weeks to get your results and you would usually get your results from your specialist. You could also check with your doctor how long you should expect to wait for your results. 

    It's very hard having to live with health anxiety and you should not suffer alone - talk to your GP about it and I am sure they will be able to help and point you in the right direction.

    I am keeping everything crossed for you that you won't have to wait too long for your results and that it all turns out to be nothing of concern. While you are waiting, have a look at our helpful tips on how to cope while waiting for important news which will give you some good coping mechanisms while you are waiting for your results.
