Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear about the issues you are facing.
I have had a lot of CT Scans over my 20 years with a number on my Lungs due to Asbestosis and my scans had always to be reviewed by a Consultant Radiologist and report sent to my Respiratory Consultant and this could take anything up to a week.
