Test Results

Hello Everyone,

Just looking for some advice. My Mum had a CT scan on the 13th June after being referred on the 2WW pathway, she had urgent bloods, then an endoscopy then the CT scan. She wasn't given a follow up appointment and was told that she should hear by Monday. After talking to people we realise this was slightly optimistic but does anyone have any idea of when she will hear? Weeks? People keep saying no news is good news but I'm not that hopeful. :|

I'd also like to say since my Mum was referred I've spent a lot of time browsing this forum and you are all so lovely, supportive and caring people. When I've felt scared and lost the posts have given me hope. Thank you all.

  • Hi AnxiousJo

    Welcome to the forum although I'm sorry to hear that Mum is experiencing some health problems. Understandably it's a difficult time for you all at the moment. It sounds as if the hospital have moved quickly to get all Mum's tests completed. 

    I would imagine that if the hospital told you that you should hear by Monday that that was based on their expectations of when the tests would be completed and checked by the team responsible for Mum's care. Although she's not been given a follow up appointment at the moment do you have a contact number of name that you could call if you've not heard by the middle of next week? 

    I'm glad to hear that the forum has been helpful to you since Mum's referral. We're lucky to have such a place where people can come together to support each other and share experiences at what can be a difficult time. Do keep posting Jo and let us know how Mum gets on. I'm sure that our members here will do their best to continue to support you. 

    Best wishes,
