Fears

I realise this might sound ridiculous but I’m genuinely beginning to fear that we’re not going to get my mum’s ct scan results. It’s been nearly 4 weeks since the scan, and two months since her initial referral on the 2ww pathway. I’ve phoned the department every day for the last few weeks, but the phone has only been picked up once - a week ago when they said her results are on the system. They gave me an extension number to call but that’s an answer machine and although I’ve left a message, I’ve not had a call back. The GP has no results either. Is it possible she’s slipped through the net or am I being ridiculous. I’m just getting so frustrated.

  • Hello Podge22, 

    How frustrating this must be for you! You did well to phone the department every day and it's good you eventually  managed to speak to someone. It does sound like the results are in the system. Keep trying hopefully they will pick up the phone and give you an update! A good idea as well to check with your GP and see whether they have tips for you on how to chase this. 

    Fingers crossed you get somewhere with this soon! Well done for persevering I am sure you will get those results soon.

    Best wishes,
