Finished my chemo, then had a scan. Normally I’d hear within a few days. Waited then rang the oncologist office. She told me he went on holiday, so it’s another week of waiting. So stressful.

    Yes. It is very worrying waiting on test results. I had to wait two weeks on mine and then I was given them over the phone. 

    You would think the Dr could have arranged for somebody else to tell you the results as he knew he would be on holiday!!

  • Thank you, it’s a lonely feeling. I’m hoping for good news then next minute panic.

    going to a garden centre tomorrow just to get out. One of the first visits out since my operation. 

  • Sometimes your GP share the same clinical portal ! After a few years into it my mum’s GP was happy to give her results if there was any delay !

    Might be worthwhile asking !

    Take care ,

    Agh!  I remember waiting for our very first scans.  It was only a week but felt a lifetime.  When we mentioned it to the doctor, he said “ oh, I forget, for you 7 days is an eternity, for me it’s just a work week and it flies by without getting everything done I planned.”   Best wishes.

  • Thank you Juppy,I’m a number. It’s almost comforting to be a number
