Scan results

My mum had a CT scan on 29/6. She has had successful surgery for bladder cancer 4 months ago. She hasn’t had any results from her scan but in an appointment about medication another doctor mentioned suspected metastasis. He then said he couldn’t say any more as it wasn’t his area! We have called the consultant’s secretary and been told he had results 3 weeks ago and the team have met but there is nothing in the notes. Mum is worried. We’re not getting any answers and it seems a long time if there is something showing on the scan. Any advice. 

  • I'm sorry you have had to wait all this time for your results because that does seem quite a long time. Were you giiven a contact, not the secretary but a clinical nurse as a point of contact. If you did then maybe give them a call and see if they know why there are no notes. It sounds like a clerical error to me. I waited 3 weeks for mine which i thought was long so you must be climbing the walls with worry.

    If you don't have a point of contact then i would just keep phoning the secretary until they get fed up with you, lol.

    P.S.- i am not making light of your situation but sometimes being a pest or others would call it insistent, helps.

  • Thanks for your reply. Yes it is frustrating and I agree with your idea of being a pest. I just hope the long wait doesn’t impact on whatever comes next!!!
