Suspected sarcoma

Hi all.

I had an MRI on the back of my femur (suspected sarcoma).

Any idea how long I will have to wait for results?. I had my follow up appointment date even before I had the scan. Will I have to wait till then for my results ? I can feel  lump getting bigger. Follow up not till 28th Sept.

  • Hello Loraine_jan

    I'm sorry to hear that you're having investigations for a suspected sarcoma at the moment. It's understandable that you're feeling worried about things. 

    I'm not sure how long it will take for you to have the results of your scan. Typically when investigating for cancer, results are discussed at a multidiscpilinary team (MDT) meeting which can sometimes mean waiting a little longer. It may be that following this MRI that the Consultant requests you have other tests so that by the time you have your appointment in September they have all the information then need to hand. 

    It can be a really difficult time when you're waiting for results and tests so if you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to give them a call. They're back in the office on Tuesday after the bank holiday on 0808 800 4040 (Mon-Fri 9am to 5pm). 

    Keep in touch and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
