Hi Kerry; When I've had scans done it sometimes takes a few days or longer for the "report" to get to my onc, and since the weekend has intervened you should hear something Monday or Tuesday. If you can't wait for them to call you, you call them! No sense waiting in limbo if you're anxious to know the results. Keep us posted.

Kerry,

What my oncologist has started to do is schedule a follow-up appointment when any scan or MRI is scheduled. This way it takes the burden off the nurse to have to call. I still call the office and ask for my results. The waiting is a very anxious time. If you had the scan last week your oncologist should have the result Monday.
