Hi, I'm new here.

Please can somebody advise how long it will take to get results from an abdo MRI and chest xr?

I got the news 10th Dec that I had endometrial cancer (only grade one so guess that makes me lucky?) I had scan and xray on the 19th for staging but the longer it takes to get results the more wound up I am getting.

Thanks for reading

  • Hi Chipmunk1, and welcome to the forum, having had many scans and x-rays, I get my x-rays in around a week, and scans around 2 weeks, though not all, and being the holidays will delay them a little, I know it's difficult not to worry, this early in your cancer journey, but it's been caught very early, but try to keep busy, do things you enjoy as you likely have another week to wait and if there was anything unexpected in your preliminary results you would have been contacted. best wishes.

  • Hi  and welcome to the Community.

    I’d like to recommend that you join the womb cancer forum to connect with others who will have experience of your cancer, and who will be happy to share their stories.

    The timing of getting results will differ between hospitals, depending on staffing etc, and there can be delays over the holiday period, but if you join the womb group you’ll be able to make a new post there in the same way that you have made your post here. Just click on the link I have made here and join in-it’s a very supportive group.
