I was diagnosed with Invasive  breast cancer August 2019 following wide excision and removal of sentinel node.  It was 4 weeks before getting results and I was advised to have dissection of all axillary nodes.  I asked what happens following things and was told staging!!! If necessary CT & bone scan.

I asked for a CT scan before 2nd lot of sugery. This was done 6.10.2019    I asked 4 times result of scan 

Almost 5 weeks later when I went for results of axillary node dissection I was informed 9 positive lymph nodes.

I asked again for result of CT scan.  It had been put on the back burner as  non urgent!!

Following family intervention the scan was reported on the following day. It showed extensive  bone metastasis to spine, pelvis,sternum.  Still waiting for a bone scan

I'm now waiting to see an oncologist on wednesday

I want to know where do I complain to.  The disease is happily multiplying and the NHS doesn't give a toss

Just wondered if anyone knows how long it takes to hear about ct after x-ray found shadow had call to get ct next day now awaiting results from that waiting seems to be worse than getting bad news sitting in limbo 

Thanks 

Hi, I went for a scan week before Christmas, and called on New Year's Eve to see if anything done. They printed off and passed to consultant (mine is possible lymph's around heart - sjorgrens) like all here, wondering how long before they contact me . 

Hi I've been waiting 5 weeks rang doctors said due to covid things behind 

My husband had large hard lump on the back of his head. GP wouldn’t see him because of Covid I took photos and explained that it was growing rapidly not giving him any pain, they said it was a cyst and not to worry . They then asked to see him and sent him for ultrasound which showed nothing much. They then sent him for CT scan with contrast , they made me leave him and they left him for a moment and he fell of the bed and hit his head, he vomited and knocked out the cannula , he was then taken to emergency hospital because they needed to check him over take bloods etc they did head CT without on contrast because of the vomiting. We were sent home, with follow up by GP . We then got second CT scan with contrast . This all went well and I was able to stay with him. Consultant then came and saw us both and said they had found more but wouldn’t say what they had found. Now have follow up appointment with oncology in ten days. Nine days to go my husband has been fine eating ,drinking sleeping and working with no ill effects. I am so scared can’t sleep I can’t function it’s been the longest wait of my life. How do you all cope it’s agony the not knowing and not being in control. I just hope and pray that it’s all good . They found inflamed lymph glands in his groin when they did second scan and lump on the back of his head is now the size of a grapefruit.

Hi Queenbe

Not quite same situ but very confused about recent CT scan. Have ed sclc with short course radiotherapy & then 4 cycles carboplatin. Oncologist said latest CT scan was inconclusive but his interpretation of image was progression & therefore chemo had not worked. He said he had not received a written report from radiologist. Did oncologist mean CT was inconclusive meaning not confirmed by written report
