I just had a bone scan not long ago and wanted the results of it asap since I've already been dx with bone mets prior to this. I called my onc's office the next day to see if they had them...and they did.

If your Mothers onc does not get back to you in a day or two...I would just call them and ask for the results. They really should have them. There is nothing much harder then sitting and waiting for results...so it never hurts to give the office a little reminder that your waiting.
