Waiting game

Hi, Macc, I think its probable that someone has gone on holiday, nothing more sinister!! Summer can be slow anyway, and with people catching up on holidays it makes it worse. Fingers crossed for you.

Hi Macc. I don’t think you can read anything into it to be perfectly honest. The hospital that I was previously under outsourced the reading of the scans and I remember my oncologist frantically chasing it up hours before my appointment despite the scan having been over a month earlier. It may be that the oncologist is on holiday or that they are aware of how long the scan results are taking so have pushed your appointment back.

Its a horrible time waiting for scan results and the term ‘scanxiety’ is all too familiar. Unfortunately it’s a case of being a patient patient but we’ll all have everything crossed that it’s good news

Take care

Hi Karen

Thanks for your helpful response.The scan results are usually available after 2 days at our hospital so I was expecting a phone call if they found anything sinister rather  than waiting 5 weeks for meeting with oncologist.I’m not a patient patient
