Awaiting CT Scan results

Hi,

i had an ‘urgent’ CT scan of entire turso at beginning of January (I think it was more because they can’t figure out what’s wrong with me, than looking for anything specific)

anyhoo, the consultant said to wait 2 weeks for the results, but if there’s nothing found he’ll ring me to let me know. Roll on 5 weeks and not heard anything, which I presume means nothing was found. I rang up the dr’s secretary again today, and she said she’d get the doctor to write to me urgently. 

Would the secretary have seen something, or could she just be saying urgently because she’s aware that I’ve had to wait for the results so trying to speed up response.

I’m just very frustrated at being in dark for so long (tho like I said the longer I wait the less likely there is anything wrong??)

  • Hi,

    I’d still not heard anything so I rang up the dr’s secretary again this morning. She said she had just made me an appointment which just needs signing off. Also the consultants asked for the nurse clinician to ring me, which will be this or next Tuesday evening (wasn’t sure which she said). She couldn’t give me anymore info.

    Im not just frustrated, I’m also confused as to what’s going on. Do I read anything into the above, or would this just be the standard way to tell me everything’s ok and then an appointment to go through further options? 

     

  • I've had the results of the CT scan which showed no malignancy. I've had a call off the nurse clinician today, who says they didn't find anything wrong with my bowels. But they did notice bone in my spine smaller than it should be, so are sending me for an MRI scan in next 2 weeks, he didn't go into any more detail.

    Anyone any idea what this could be?
