CT Scan Results

I was referred for a CT scan two months ago due to headaches, memory loss, confusion etc .... I had my scan yesterday (11th March). I had a letter through booking an app two weeks after the scan .... I'm an utter mess!!! I'm stressed, crying and chest pains with anxiety on waiting. My question is through experience if they do find something will they phone me before the app or will I have to wait the full two weeks? 

  • Hello Smoir

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been dealing with some ongoing health problems recently. I'm sure that it's been a very worrying time for you. 
    We know from lots of posts here on the forum that waiting for tests, results and appointment can be incredibly stressful and it sounds as if it's exacerbating your anxiety. 

    Whilst 2 weeks to wait for your results feels like a lifetime at the moment, it's a fairly standard amount of time that people seem to wait for results. Try not to read too much into it and just take each day as it comes. 

    I wonder if you might find it helpful to chat to one of our nurses about your concerns. I'm sure that they will be able to offer some support. You can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    Best wishes,
