Hi all hope you are well,

It’s been a week since my ct scan and still not heard anything from the hospital.  My anxiety is through the roof and I can’t seem to get it under control.  I keep thinking the worst and now I am worried they will send me the results in a letter which I don’t want, they never have before but worried they will this time.  I have tried calling my nurses but can’t get hold of them as I think they do clinic in a different hospital today.

    1. Hi Rach, my partner recently had a ct scan and they sent the results to his gp. That took a week. He called the doctors to chase it after getting a call from the bowel unit saying there was nothing wrong with his bowel but they'd found a mass on his kidney. He then got some info from the gp surgery so you could try that. Although the on call doctor be spoke to gave incorrect info. Told him he had a 15mm tumour and they didn't know if it was cancer or not but when he called into the surgery turns out its 15cm and it is renal cancer. Incompetence at its finest! I would recommend chasing your gp surgery as hospital should inform them. Hope you get your results soon and that all is well xx
  • Thank you for your reply and I’m sorry to hear about your partner.  I finished chemotherapy 3 weeks ago for womb cancer, the tumour was removed and contained to the womb but made it’s way into two of the pelvic lymph nodes.  The ct scan was to see how the treatment went, I had a scan in February after my third treatment and it was stable and starting to shrink but for some reason I can’t stop thinking the worse.  I am also waiting for mri results for a lump near my elbow which the gp thinks is a fatty lump but it’s a slightly different shape to normal so was recommended to have an mri because of my history so bit worried about that as well.
