Hi everyone, granddad was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma T1b N0 M0 in Feb and had 15 sessions of radical radiotherapy with curative intent finishing 1st May. He had his post treatment scan 31st July but appointment with consultant isn't until 12th Sept! It's been 4 weeks since his scan and we haven't had any calls - surely if his scan was bad they wouldn't just leave him until September? He's doing so well, he didn't have any symptoms to start with but no new symptoms, energy is back, just living normal life - I however am an anxious wreck and getting worse the closer we get to 12th September! Constantly what if it's got worse, what if it's spread, what if it's not gone... not really sure the point of my post I guess I just feel a bit lost!
Has anyone waited this long for results? The leaflet did say it would be reported by a radiologist within 1 week so someone has seen the scan and someone knows!
Keep fighting , Kate x
Hi kate290822 that does seem like an awful long wait, so I can understand how you feel! I have waited 4 weeks on average for scan results, I do wonder if the consultant is on holiday maybe? Is grandad over anxious about the results. If he is I would be phoning his lung nurse and saying how anxious he is with this long wait, and is there any way to bring the appointment forward.
