Partner waiting on CT scan results for lung cancer..

My partner was referred for a ct scan among other tests like copd tests as GP wasn't sure what was causing his shortness of breath. His bloods all came back good and hes well in himself no lost of weight, no night sweats or tiredness etc.

He had a ct scan done Friday morning and was in and out very fast. They said if anything concerning showed they would contact him quickly

Its now Sunday.

His mum was diagnosed with lung cancer two years ago at the same hostipal and was told pretty much immediately about a hour after her scan.

So would you say no news is good news? Or could they still ring tomorrow with bad news? This is driving me mad.

  • Hi ,

    sometimes I can take a while for  CT results to  come back no matter if they are good or bad. 

    When my father was diagnosed with lung cancer a few years ago I remember it took at least a couple of weeks to hear that it was most likely cancer.

    The wait for things is awful I know , I had a CT scan on the 13 of this month , it came into my NHS app on the 22nd , my GP reviewed it on the 24th ( I can see the report now but I am not reading it ) , it is abnormal and I have an appointment to discuss with the GP on the 29th , it was a CT of the abdomen, pelvis and pancreas.

    I do hope for you both that you do not have too much of a wait to hear.
