Is no news good news??

Had a two CT scans last Sunday not heard anything

is that positive? How long do these things normally take to let me know the results 

been coughing up blood every morning, hoarse voice and feel like I've got something stuck in my throat

    I think the old adage of "no news is good news" is a great way to think until you hear differently. It's not uncommon for CT results to take a couple of weeks to come back. 

    The scans need to be looked at by a Consultant and then it's possible that the results may need to be discussed by a multi-disciplinary team before a decision about the diagnosis and next steps can be made. 

    We know that waiting can be a difficult time. If you've not heard anything by the end of the week then maybe give the secretary a call to see if they're able to give you any information about how long you'll be waiting to hear. 

    I do hope you have some news soon. 

    Best wishes,
