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

Hi Steve
Porstmouth NHS, Have you contacted your GP to support pushing this along? I had a CT scan which wasn’t back at 2 weeks so they booked me in for a Pet scan to save on time. We should not have to, (I feel very lucky that I haven’t had to) but shout from the roof tops. Contact your local Macmillan centre? Hope it gets sorted for you.
Regards Jennie
I had a ct contrast chest scan and currently on waiting 10 and half weeks contacted PALS and they are saying it’s really bad at the moment (Buckinghamshire) ways
