How long did you wait for MRI results?

Hi Everyone,

My consultant sent me for an MRI on the 1st of July. Still no results at the moment and I have decided to call on Monday to see where they are.

Those who have had a tumour show up on their MRI - how long did it take to get the results?

Strangely I'm feeling more worried as the days go by with no results rather than the other way around.. probably because I have too much time to think about it.

 

Hope to hear from you soon!

  • Good morning,

     

    i was was just wondering if you’d had your results back yet! Or any kind of update? I’m in the same situation

  • Hi!

     

    I tried to call the department today but no one answered.

    I'm going to try again tomorrow morning.

     

    Hopefully you hear something soon as well

  • Hi Jolamine,

     

    Thank you so much for your kind words!

     

    I received my letter just now and it says my appointment is by telephone. Again, not sure what to think about this but I'm hoping for good news (although I'll try to be prepared for anything)

  • I'm so sorry that you still haven't had your results. I am also in the same boat, awaiting my results. I'm so nervous for you and me. The anxiety is so high, I can't sleep

  • Hi L97 and Shanlumers,

     

    I also had an MRI scan and fully expected a letter to say 'nope! We found nothing other than you're a fine specimen' but I have to go in for  a face to face consultation next week. Not sure what to think. It's knocked me for six but perhaps it's still just part of the process? I went in due to ear pain and the consultant  at the time said it was unlikely they'd find anything but just to rule things out, but now my mind is racing! I've no idea what to  expect. I'd be hugely grateful to know how you both get on and I'll update too. Much love  xxx 

  • Hey Quirky Mouse, 

     

    I'm sorry to learn that you are also experiencing such worry. Fortunately, we are all in this together.

     

    Hopefully we will all be fine, but we have each other! 
     

    If I hear anything I'll update you both as soon as possible. The longer this goes on the more concerned I am. Unfortunately my vision keeps coming and going (I usually have 20/20 vision) so I'm left being unable to read/do my normal activities.

     

    fingers crossed x x

  • Hi quirky_mouse & shanlumers,

     

    Waiting for results is the absolute worst... I am really grateful to have this forum and each other to speak to while we wait. 
    Please do update this forum with any news, I will keep my fingers crossed for all of us <3

  • Hi!

     

    just checking in to see how you are all doing? As my appointment isn't until next Thursday I'm still in the dark but actually I'm feeling quite relaxed about it right now. After the initial shock I'm ok again. Just wanted to send some love out

  • Hi! 

    Thanks for checking in!

    My appointment is next Tuesday so not too much longer now. Honestly, I keep switching from really worried about it to calm and relaxed, which is pretty exhausting . Especially at night I imagine how I would react if I'm told bad news which is not good at all. 

     

    I am also trying really hard to keep an open mind and expect anything so I'm not surprised (don't know how that will work out though...)

     

    I'll update you on Tuesday (hopefully with good news!)

     

    Sending love to you all!

  • Hi L97

     

    I am so sorry for you and everyone else on this post. I really will keep everything crossed for you all xx

     

    It's been a harrowing time, what with Covid-19 and then all the additional health worries. I had a MRI scan back in June which was meant to be for my gallbladder, liver and spleen and when I got a letter about 3 weeks later it just mentioned I have gallstones of which I knew about one of them, so not too much of a shock, but thought everything else was fine. Then I got a phone call to say that could I come back for another MRI scan for the following week (last Thurs). The secretary said it was for my liver and spleen, so did they only scan my gall bladder who knows! I've now had the MRI which was quite different to the previous one. The first I had to drink over a litre of water and this one was a complete fasting for 4 hours before the scan and an intravenous contrast dye. I have other recent health issues and now have to see the doctor on Tuesday (not MRI results). 

     

    Thank you for posting on this forum, it helps a lot. 

     

    Healing hugs everyone.

  • Hi LM!

     

    It really is an awful time to be having health concerns and I'm sorry to hear you are also waiting for results.

    The closer I get to Tuesday the more anxiety I get. My heart starts racing every time I think about that phone call!

    I really, really hope every turns out well for you and I am so happy you joined this forum so we can support each other through this time.

     

    Sending love to you all.

  • Hi L. 

     

    Thank you for your lovely reply. It is very comforting to know it's not just me feeling very anxious, although sad too, to read yours and other posts going through this. I bet it has seemed like a very long weekend for you :(

     

    I really hope to hear that all is well on Tuesday, or when you feel up to updating us on your results. Sending you all love too and of course the healing hugs are a plenty.

     

    Take care and stay safe xx
