I had a ct of thorax and upper abdomen 16 days ago I have just rang the consultant s secretary because I am stressing about results. She kept saying hold the line a moment like she was reading it. Then said its been reported on but the radiographer hasn’t signed it off yet. But il show it to dr and hel drop you a line have you got another appointment ? No I haven’t. I asked how long before I would hear she said prob end of next week. I had an MRI on neck 4 days ago so don’t know if that makes a diffrence but that was from gp I’m reading all sorts into this and hate the waiting. Has anyone else experienced this or any advice please ? Rozita x

I get a follow up appointment after my scans usually about 2 weeks I’m surprised you don’t have one x
Hi all still waiting its 3 weeks tmorro I went to go yestoday for smear and explained I was anxious so she rang consultant and he said it was still not signed off so was unable to comment. What could cause this delay ? Thanks rozita x
Hi rozita, have u got your results yet? Try not to worry it doesn’t necessarily mean there is anything wrong with the scan, the ct’s are often looked at and reported by a registrar and then a consultant will look themselves and double check the results before they officially sign off. Unfortunately the secretays won’t ne allowed to give out info on an unsigned report.
Fingers crossed everything is ok, contact your BCN she should be able to move it along xxx
