Hi so the other day i had a CT scan and whilst i was at the hospital they told me i would get my results within 7-10 days but the day after they rang me and said i’ve been referred for a routine appointment with a certain doctor, but she said she is away so the earliest i can get you in is in a week, does this mean bad news?

    Hello,

    i find myself in a similar position after having a CT colonoscopy about 10 days ago. I’ve been advised that the hospital are going to write to my GP so my stress & anxiety level is through the roof. I’m convinced my news is bad.

    in your case it’s been advised that it’s a routine appointment so I’d be looking at that being a positive maybe. I’m at the stage now where it’s affecting massively I just need to know what’s wrong and I’m sure you are the same. 

    Hoping that your appointment goes well. 

    Take care.

    hi! 

    yes my anxiety is going through the roof too! the only reason i’m worrying it’s bad news because they contacted me the next day when they said i should make a results appointment for 2 weeks time! 

    hope all is well with you x

    Really sorry that you are anxious too, I’m sure it’s the same for everyone in this position facing potentially life changing news. 

    It really is easy to say but it’s too easy trying to predict what things mean & trying to interpret different signs ..... it’s driving me mad too  

    I just hope that your news is good and you can try and get some piece of mind. 

     

    Kind Regards,

    michael
