hi folks

[Burtybella4]

I had a ct scan last Saturday 5 months post bypass I have not heard anything about results wondering how long people usually wait for results

[Tos92]

I have previously waited between 1 week to several months for results to come back. If it’s urgent, they will contact you sooner otherwise, due to delays, you may not hear back from them for a while. I would call the department tomorrow and chase up those results.

All the best.

Thanks Tos92 I will do that tomorrow just thought they never said anything about when I would get results when I had it done

They usually say results sent to gp or the specialist who sent you to them in 7 to 14 days. I'd give it a week and then if you've heard nothing, ring gp or consultants secretary.

[Burtybella4 in reply to Weetabixie]

Thanks weetabixie I will do that like I said nobody said anything at scan so didn’t really know

I’d say if you haven’t heard in a week or two chase it up. Not heart related but my husband was on a cardiology ward in June being treated for a leaking tricuspid valve and AF and had a final scan on his last day (day 12 in hospital). 4 weeks later we hadn’t heard and chased it up. As he had been discharged no one looked at it- he needed an urgent biopsy on his liver. I spent 4 days on the phone trying to get someone to take ownership of the scan and organise his biopsy. 10 days later he got his biopsy- 2 weeks after that he was diagnosed with liver cancer. Don’t just assume everything is ok if you don’t hear. Good luck.

Thanks for reply yes I had the scan because of a medistinal heamatoma when discharged which they said should disperse on its own would be nice to know if it has I will chase them up if I don’t hear anything

[Burtybella4 in reply to XmasEve24]

that reply was for you Christmas Eve I replied to myself if you can see it

My last was about 4 weeks. As they say no news is good news. ( well maybe not these days. I'[m still waiting for an x ray results after 3 weeks.

[Burtybella4 in reply to Qualipop]

Yes you would think there would be some kind of communication but like you say these days especially with that strike last week that will put them even further behind

[KIMMY60]

If its more than a week give them a call

Hiya, Spoke to a nurse 3 weeks post scan only to be informed that scan has not been reported due staff shortages. Currently still waiting and were in to 6 weeks post scan.

Good luck, it may take a while!
