Hi Everyone,

I was referred early July under 2WW to neurology due to suspicious symptoms ongoing with severe headaches, swelling, sickness, seizures and visual disturbances. 

I had an appointment with a neurogist who sent me for an MRI scan of the head which I had the following week. It's now three weeks on and I haven't had any results. 

I have called the neurology department who are always very polite and acknowledge I am on 2WW and were assuring me every few days that I was getting a call from the consultant. That then turned to a letter, so I got my hopes up a bit and expected it to be on the better side of possible outcomes, but on receiving the letter it is just a copy sent to the GP which outlines why I was referred and what I discussed with the neurologist. It says they are still waiting for the MRI results. 

When I met with the neurologist he told me they had a legal requirement under the pathway to close it down in a set time once the scan was complete.

I was told on the phone that they had the results and a report was being generated by the consultant, but judging by the letter this isn't the case.

Is this normal especially under the 2WW pathway? 

Any advice and shared experiences are welcome. 

Thank you.
