About RDC60s

Hi. I had renal cancer last year which was completely removed along with one kidney. I am now subject to 6 monthly scans to check for any return. I am concerned though at the length of time it is taking fro me to be told the results. First scan was just before Christmas and it took over 4 months for me to hear that all was clear. No news is good news they say but that doesn't stop you worrying. Latest scan was early June and I still have no results. Just chased today to be told the results have only just come through and my consultant hasn't read them yet. So much for any no news is good news. I could have had something growing since Christmas and no-one even knows yet! I know the NHS is under so much pressure, but just a quick call to say all is well would do. Is this timescale "normal" at the moment?
