Hi cate 64 Know what you mean. I had a scan on my thyroid when diognosed with thyroid probs. (just out of treatment) Said to the doc I will come in and pay for an appt to get results asap. She said she'd ring - 8 days after the appt I got the generic letter to come and get results (Friday, stuffed up my weekend), only to find out she got the results 2 days after. Another time my radio onc sent me for a bone scan re pain, when I rang her(after 5 days) she was on hols for 2 weeks - and no I'm just a receptionist cant give you any info!!! Even ordinary tests I want to know - not I'll call you if a problem - I want a date that the results are in, and a call/visit!!! I want an end to the stress...
Can you call your onc and ask when the results are in and what they are? Maybe they don't realise the stress. Maybe they need to realise...we are paranoid and have every right to be paranoid.
Best wishes Pam
