So having been told it was alright to go on a long awaited trip to the US to visit son and grandson a letter arrived today saying that we have been advised to delay the trip until after the results of the bone scan. The scan is on 17th - how long are the results realistically likely to take?

My husband had biopsy and bone scan on consecutive days and then had an appointment just over 2 weeks later to get his full diagnosis.
What date are you due to be away? Might be worth explaining that you need the results fairly quickly, some hospitals can be good in these situations.
Fingers crossed you get all back quickly.
I think my results took a week. That was pre-covid. With a PSA of 7.2 and a Gleason 9. I think there are not many cancer cells in his body. I would be very surprised if it had spread. I can't think why you are being asked to await the results. So I would be very inclined to go on holiday. The only fly in the ointment is that the insurers could say you travelled against medical advice and if you make a claim it could be rejected.
