Hi
I had Ct scan 2 days ago for suspected lung cancer
I am beside myself with worry. If there was a tumour showing on CT scan would they have let my specialist know by now? I'm in nz.
Hi Dee7020 and a very warm welcome to the Macmillan Community but so sorry to hear about your ongoing diagnosis.
Having been on my cancer journey for over 26 years (first diagnosed in 1999 at 43) with two very rare, hard to treat types of Non Hodgkin’s Lymphomas (one incurable) then Asbestosis and recently Prostate Cancer that navigating this journey can be such a stressful and challenging time for you.
I have had many scans over my years…… I have no idea what the process and time frames are in NZ but in Scotland where I live it has been anything between a few working days…… and up until 10 working days before I have been told my results.
A radiologist reviews all imaging and the results are often discussed at the hospitals weekly multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting and advises a likelihood of cancer.
Sometimes it will be extremely likely to be cancer, sometimes extremely unlikely to be cancer and sometimes it will be unclear and further investigations might be recommended.
You see that the Community is actually divided into dedicated Support Groups (Discussion Rooms)….. and I can see that you have put up a post in our dedicated…….
…….. support group.
This group is a safe place to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.
