Re: how soon do you get your bone scan results?
Joyluck, I know for me personally I always have problems getting results to tests/scans if my onc isn't in. (However I know of other women here that can get their results regardless.) So it's not a set rule...that's for sure.
I know I couldn't get a radiologist to release information to me under any circumstances & believe me I've tried everything. They always tell me they are sorry but just not allowed too. But if you have a good relationship with your Mother's onc nurse...maybe you could go through another onc in the office and get a ok for you to get the results sooner? It's worked for me...might me worth a try. All the radiologist I know tell me they will get in trouble if they say anything. But I would call and see what they say...worse that can happen is they say no. Wishing you luck.
