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.
