Hi, long time lurker, first time poster (so in the wise words of Miranda - "bear with")
Last Tuesday (9th), my mum had an x-ray and was told results would be 7-14 days. Radiographer checked the x-ray just to make sure it was clear and wouldn't need to be done again, when she came out the room she told my mum that the x-ray would be with GP tomorrow and to ring in the morning.
anyway 5pm the same evening as having the x-ray she received a call from the GP saying they needed to see her urgently. They opened the surgery early Wednesday to see her. All they said was that they have seen a "mass" on the left lung and referred her for urgent CT Scan. She received a call on Thursday (11th), saying her appt for Scan was on Friday, and an appt with the Consultant has been made for tomorrow (16th) to discuss results etc.
We are all thinking the worst, and i know what it looks like, but surely this can also be for something simple(ish) like an absyss or something - or do you think they know what they have seen but just need it confirmed??
I know we can do nothing more than wait until tomorrow when results are discussed, but the scenarios running through my head are driving me insane.
Has anyone had something similar to this and had a good outcome??
