Hi,

just got an appointment through for test results. It’s on the 26 April. 

I am wondering as it will be a month after the bone scan next week, if I am clutching at straws thinking that it is good news as such a long wait. If it was bad would we be going sooner.

plus, if it’s good news, maybe he doesn’t have to go for the bone scan next week.

i know I am getting too worked up about all this, but I am struggling a bit with my husband as he has just been diagnosed with a cognitive impairment as well, which we are still trying to get to grips with. 

thanks again everybody for your advise and reassurance.

cheryl.

  • Hello Cheryl ( 

    It's a results appointment and the bone scan results will be back by then.

    The date would be the same whatever any of the results are - sadly the NHS don't have a priority list for those of us with aggressive cancer such as a high PSA or Gleason 9.

    If as (David suggested) on the other thread, you have his NHS records on the app and you have full access to his records, the results letter may well appear under "documents" as the hospital will advise the GP.

    If your anxiety levels are building please do give the Support Line a call on 0808 808 00 00 (8am to 8pm 7 days a week), they can help with this.

    Kind regards - Brian.

  • Hi.   I had my bone scan last year but the results took ages to come through and I agree it’s an anxious time.   I’m pretty sure that if something was found, you’d be called back sooner although until you actually know the result you will be still worrrying.  Unfortunately the nhs app is only as good as the people who input the information which in my experience is hit and miss.    Cheers.  Simon
