Bone Scan

Good Afternoon, i wonder if anybody can advise. My uncle lives in Oxford and had a bone scan 2 weeks ago on Monday at the hospital.  He is on heavy pain relief now and is unable to swallow but still the hospital is saying that the scan results are not back.  Is this normal?  I feer he will die befoe he advised as to the extent of his cancer before anything can be done.

  • Hello kingarthromany and welcome to our forum.

    I'm sorry to hear about your uncle's situation.

    Waiting for test results is never easy and that two weeks have passed since your uncle had his scan with no word from the hospital must be quite stressful.

    Hopefully our members who have been through similar experiences will be along shortly to share their stories with you and give advice.

    In the meantime, if you feel like chatting with someone medically trained may help, our team of nurses are available on this phone number 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

    Best wishes to you both,
