It's been 18 days since my 6 mth CT Scan - & I'm still awaiting results.
My Bowel cancer journey began in May 2018 then Lung Nodules in March 2019. I had Bowel resection & Lung ablation.
Since Oct. 2019....I have a CT Scan every 6 mths. So far - all have been clear.It's great that my journey has been followed so well, however, I hate the wait of results after each scan. Every time my phone rings, I jump!
It doesn't get any easier! However - life in between is good!

Hi Marianne26. Yes the term ‘scanxiety’ sums it up well doesn’t it? Hopefully your results will be through any day and good to hear that you’re doing well
Take care

It seems to me as though the scan results are getting longer and longer now . For years it was two weeks then something altered and the delays started . I think our area it was a recruitment problem and even got sent abroad to get reported .
It makes the whole thing more protracted .
