    Morning  

    It's taking up to 4 weeks to get scans reported here so there probably won't be an official report. My Consultant would certainly have had a look at the scan himself and have a very good idea of what it shows.

    I hope it's good news.

    All the best,

    Thanks Tinalay wasn’t sure just be glad to find out trying to forget till then but not working.

    Just have to keep my fingers crossed take care 

  • The report normally takes about 2= weeks but can be as long as as a month. Unless your oncologist is prepared to look at the scan for you . I tend o phone the X ray dept and they will tell me if it has been reported on and then arrange to have the appointment when I know there is a report o discuss.

    my oncologist will email the report to me or he will will print me off a copy when I see him

    Hi

    My experience is the same as others here. I had a scan last Tuesday, it was looked at the next day by the multidisciplinary team and my oncologist was able to give me a verbal report the next day even though there was no official report with measurements. So I hope you might get some feedback although it might depend on how senior a person you see. A consultant would likely be confident to give you early feedback ahead of a report. A registrar might not. At any rate, you might get them to agree to phone you if there’s a long wait before the next appointment  

    Fingers crossed. We all know how hard the waiting can be
