Hi,

Just wondering what peoples experience have been with waiting for CT scan results. I Had my 2nd CT scan back on the 12th April and was booked in to see my consultant on the 30th April. However at just after 4pm on the 29th my appointment was cancelled as results were not back.

I spoke to a nurse the next day and the backlog had gone from 3 weeks to 6 weeks !. What's also annoying is that I won't get put back onto the appointment list till the results are back.

A quick google search shows most private CT scans are returned in a week and a friend of mine in Germany who is also having chemo, had his scan on the Friday and had the results back and an appointment with his consultant on the Tuesday
