Still Waiting.

It has now been over three weeks since I had a full body scan (with intravenous dye) as a cancer check, part of a series of tests. Try as I might I cannot get the scan result. My GP knows nothing, I rang the hospital consultant's secretary and she confirmed the results were back, but couldn't tell me what it is. She said that they would be writing me a letter!!

I feel this is really not good enough, I need to know and deal with whatever I am told, rather than three weeks in limbo.

Re: Still Waiting.

Your doctor should have the results now u could try ringing good luck let us know?

Re: Still Waiting.

My doctor does not know and cannot access the hospital computer system. The scan was arranged by my surgeon as a follow up.

Re: Still Waiting.

Normally they are only in a hurry to let you know if there is an urgent problem, no news is usually good news...

Re: Still Waiting.

know how you feel ceecee,,I waited a month for results of prostrate cancer,seemed like forever,,,,,,,im sure it will be good news ceecee

Re: Still Waiting.

oh sorry cee cee

Re: Still Waiting.

You should ring the surgeon’s secretary again to complain .

Re: Still Waiting.

The waiting is the worst part, and really unacceptable, Cee Cee. I imagine it has been a very long weekend in that regard. I hope you find something out tomorrow.

I tend to hope and think that Barry is right on this one.

Good thoughts your way .

Re: Still Waiting.

D Day for me, or should I say "S Day"? Off for a sigmoidoscopy at 8.30, at a different hospital, so will pressurise them to look for my scan result on the computer. Keep your fingers crossed for me folks, so tired, no sleep last night....

Re: Still Waiting.

I'm sure you'll be fine; anything nasty and they'd have likely got straight back to you. Good luck for today.
