Do anyone know how long it would take hospital to contact you if your surveillance ct scan was abnormal

  • To. Be fair I wouldn’t know this answer ,  I would try and contact the person or department  and ask if an appointment had been made and what time scale it would be considering there was an urgency . Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful . Wish you all the best . Take care x

  •   all hospitals vary on this, but can typically take 2 weeks to get the full Ct scan report. Like  said if it was urgent they will contact you sooner. Waiting on scans and results can be an agonising time, but if it is surveillance Ct I would have thought you would have an appointment already booked with results so best to check in with your team.

  • Mum found out within 4 hours of having her scan! They said two weeks but obviously as they found something they wanted to get it sorted 

  • Hi Chelle , I waited almost 2 weeks even though I had a regrowth on my stitch line , though things moved rather quickly afterwards ( alarm bells ) but it was only because I'd had all test that oncologist would have sent me for before starting treatment already done but I think 1-2 weeks is about normal  to wait .
