Is this standard procedure?

To be honest, I’m not sure there is such a thing as standard procedure. I had to chase up my MRI result after 2 or 3 weeks and when I tracked down my urologist on the phone, he asked if he’d already given me my MRI result, which he hadn’t. I suspect it depends on the approach of the consultant and I would try not to read too much into it. I wish you and your husband well, and hope that you have good news when it comes. It’s tempting to over interpret in the intervals - I know I did/do - but I am fairly sure it’s just different practices in a hectic system rather than anything more than that.

Many thanks for your reply.At least they seem to be on the ball time wise. Four weeks from referral to MRI to face to face appointment scheduled seems reasonable. 

It’s different in every case due to your postcode and the current loading on cancer waiting rooms. Yours is not out of bounds but you need to an eye on times and dates and appointments excetera for your own good if things slide.

Good luck
