Hi all hope you are well,
It’s been a week since my ct scan and still not heard anything from the hospital. My anxiety is through the roof and I can’t seem to get it under control. I keep thinking the worst and now I am worried they will send me the results in a letter which I don’t want, they never have before but worried they will this time. I have tried calling my nurses but can’t get hold of them as I think they do clinic in a different hospital today. X
Hi Rach_ E I'm in a similar position in as much I had my Scan on 3rd May and still not had results ! although I have had notice of a telephone appointment on the 27th May..!! I rang today as i'm getting a bit anxious as although my surgery went well the chemo was my downfall and treatment was stopped after the first one as I developed peripheral Neuropathy. ( this was last September ) As I was saying I rang today to speak to a nurse and the results are in but she couldn't/wouldn't tell me what they were and there are no other tel. appointments available so I have to wait. Up to now I have been assuming that if they called me in to the hospital for the appointment it was bad news, but it seems they only call you in if you need a physical examinations and everything else is dealt with over the phone so still no reassurance for me i'm afraid...I hope you get sorted soon, I think the waiting is the worse, and the not knowing for me is a big issue ( I like to to everything lol so i know what i am dealing with and what i am up against. It sounds like you have had such a rough time already so you are stronger than you think..take care and good luck.
Hi Nannyjanet
I hope that you get your results soon, let's hope that the CSN can do something behind the scene to gee an appointment or a call for you.
I think hospitals vary all over the country, so far I have been called in each time for face to face appointments even if they didn't examine me. What they have told me could of easily been done over the phone in some cases I think.
Hope that you abd Rach hear something very soon, waiting is the horendous.
Big hugs

Hi Rach_E. It always seems when I want to get hold of my CNS she's in clinic but she does always call me back. It must differ with different health trusts she'll always tell me. There was one time she cold see the scan but couldn't interpret it they had to wait until the written report was submitted.
They'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Sending calming hugs, Barb xx
