Hi all. Had a bone scan 3 weeks ago. Not had any results but not had any calls either. Is this a good thing or bad. How fast do results and call back if anything shows up usually happen. Cheers. Simon

Simon, a bone scan is pretty routine and to make sure the treatment path is right. What treatment have you been offered. Worth chasing things up just to make sure you haven't been lost in the system.

Thanks Chris

Simon,I was called by the hospital 7 days after my scan with the result, so I agree with Chris worth chasing up as 3 weeks sounds long.

I had a meeting on Thursday with a nurse and nothing was mentioned so I’m guessing no news is good news. I said I wanted to make sure I wasn’t under the radar as my oncology app is may 29. She assured me that this wasnt the case but there’s a massive backlog at the min. Cheers. Simon

Hi Simon,

One of the things I’ve learned on this ‘journey’ is to be proactive, be an active partner with your medical team, ask questions, don’t assume that they will always tell you things. Maybe you're the sort of person that would rather not know one way or the other…and that’s fine, we’re all different in how we deal with this disease, but if somethings bothering you write it down and either phone your team or ask at your next appointment.

Good luck….

Derek
