MRI SCAN - RESULTS

I went for mri scan last wednesday, instead of mammogram as it would’ve been too painful. Surgery was last august (snb & wle) and i’m still in alot of pain.
Am just wondering how long i’ll have to wait for results??? The staff were brilliant but can’t tell me anything obviously. I’m desperatate (and terrified) to get my results and would like to know roughly how long it will take

Thanks

Hi Izzy,

Once surgery was over I was given an appointment to go back to the breast clinic for results three weeks later. I needed further treatment and so was seen by an oncologist two weeks after that.

I would chase up your results as I Know of two people who ‘slipped through the net’. You will need to inform your GP too, he should also be able to press for the results.

There are regional variations on the length of time but I still think yours sounds a little long ago, it can’t be doing your mind any good to be waiting this length of time anyway.

Cheers

Carol

hi Izzy
MRI scans usually are back with the doctor after a week to ten days, f you haven’t a follow up at the hospital then do as Carol suggests ad ask your GP
Hope the results are good
