2week urgent referral- now 10 days waiting

Just want appointment with hospital, had X-rays & blood test, letter from hospital confirming referral- then nothing. Hospital say they're waiting for consultant to look at results, that was 5 days ago.

I guess it's Coronavirus delays with Nhs, which I get. Socially isolating to be safe. Not told anyone as I don't know anything concrete. 2 family have virus too. 
 

just needed to share, have a moan . Hope everyone safe in these weird times xx

  • Hey.

    Usually anything in the 2ww is reported quickly (i should know as I work in Radiology and report!). If its anything like the system we run by they can flag unusual findings to be read as urgent. 

    Ive just found that i have thyroid cancer and the scans were reported on the Friday and i was called the Monday morning, which is a good example of how ot works.

    Hopefully as they say no news is good news and this can help reassure you?. Wishing you all the best!
