Hello,
I haven’t posted for quite a few years now. I had my 2nd bone scan, since diagnosis ,10 days ago and haven’t heard anything. The first time i had one 4 yrs ago i got the negative result in a week. There have been 2 weekends inbetween this scan which my last only had one weekend. I keep going from, it must be a good sign to thinking that it’s really bad and their deciding what to do. I would hope that if it was bad i would have heard by now. Of course my family are looking on it as a good sign but the only ones i feel would probably know is the forum members. Could anyone help me with this please.

Tracey, I waited 15 days for bone scan result, while another BC lady who had same test 20 mins before me waited less than 48hrs. Reason given, back up due to bank holiday…I convinced myself I had Mets in bones, accompanied by all sorts of pains, and received negative result. I also had to wait after each test to attend clinic to get results on Weds only…very frustrating, and no sense of order, it differs from region to region. Try to stay calm, be nice to yourself and don’t read too much dodgy information online x

Thank you SOD6162 and Jo for your replies. I was hoping i would have heard from some others, but i know when i used to use the forums they were a lot easier to use than they appear now.
I have just rung my Oncologists secretary as Day 11 and no word. She said they haven’t received the results yet. She asked when i had the test. After saying 11 Days she said she would e mail them and get my Oncologist to take a look tomorrow or the day after. Surely Radiology should have given the results over to my Oncologist before now X
Hi anxious
I too am waiting for ct scan results from 10 days ago. It’s horrendous waiting for the results. I have an appt in two days so will finally find out whats going on. So i think its quite the norm to keep us waiting. I was told that I would be discussed at mdt meeting before I get results so maybe thats why you haven’t heard.
Have they sent an appointment in the post?

Hi Barbie40, Thank you so much for replying. Your so right regarding the waiting. I had my diagnosis 7yrs ago this month and since then, there has been various times, when i have had this awful time of waiting for results. I wish you well for your results. My Onc said he would write to me when he had my results. However his secretary is saying he hasn’t had them. I can’t understand why Radiology would sit on them for 11 days unless they have lost them. Is that possible?
EJ81 and Lynnq, thank you for taking the time to respond when you are having to deal with your own worries. I have been reading lots of threads and it is such a source of comfort and support. How people dealt with all of this before the forums i will never know. I still haven’t heard so the wait goes on. I will ring again Thursday as we are going France on Saturday. Xx
Hi anxious, just to let you know my scan was all clear after waiting 11 days. Apparently it was only reported on yesterday. I hope that gives you some comfort. Please try and stay positive xx
Hi Louis, I will have everything crosed for you and pray you get good news this afternoon. It is so worrying isn’t it. People who haven’t experienced this probably think we are over anxious but to me its so surreal. A letter can come through the post that can change your life in an instance. How often does that happen to anyone. Oncologists all seem to work in different ways as to how they convey the results. Barbie40 so glad your results are clear, you can breathe again and enjoy the sunshine. Day 14 for me and still waiting.
