ct scan

I was wondering can anybody help. I was sent to have a CT scan after an x-ray picked up a lump in my lung. I had the scan on Tuesday gone and was wondering how long I will wait for results. this may sound daft, but I'm not quite sure as to who requested the scan. my Dr sent me for the x-ray, but I was admitted to hospital a few days after x-ray, with a suspected blood clot, and was given a VQ scan to determine the clot, which was negative.  As I am unaware as to who requested CT. I'm on tenderhooks waiting for my phone to ring. how long will this take. I'm presuming if it's anything sinister they will notify me sooner rather than later?

    We have some general information about getting CT scan results at the bottom of this page but if you'd like to have a chat with someone about this then do give our cancer nurses a call next week. Their phone number is 0808 800 4040 and are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    It's always a bit nerve-racking waiting for results but hopefully it won't be too much longer until you find out. I'll have my fingers crossed for good news. 

    All the best,
