The appointment letter arrived yesterday,I'm to have a CT scan on the 30th of october ,I have never had a CT scan so it will be a new experience but considering the consultant said he would order it to be done urgent its quite a wait (or is it) anyway i phoned and said i would be willing to take a cancellation.

It's always worth a try, Mig - you might get a cancellation. I hope it goes well for you whenever it happens.0

I don't know what constitutes a long or a short wait but you've done the right thing by offering to take a cancellation.
At least you'll be ready to take up your broomstick for Hallowe'en. The AC Coven couldn't cope without you :pumpkin:If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Hi Mig
sorry you're having to wait a while for your CT scan. Hope you can get a cancellation and get it over with.
It really is something of a postcode lottery isn't it? I'm almost embarrassed to tell you that when the rheumy told me at my first appointment that he was ordering a PET-CT scan for me, I got a phone call from the department a couple of days later and had it done within the week.
I'd never had such a thing before either and I think some people speak of feeling enclosed. I just tried to relax and drift away in my mind and it was soon over. The staff were lovely and nothing felt rushed and I had a lovely feeling of being looked after by them.
hope it goes well for you.

I spent a week in hospital whilst pregnant waiting for a slot for a CT scan. I think they are sometimes a little more pressured for use than MRI and a little rarer. I even had to join a queue in the corridor waiting for it so I wouldn't miss out if an emergency came in and slowed the list down. I think it depends what they are doing too so if it involved dyes and other things they need different team members if that makes sense. It was a much busier affair than going for an MRI but peversely a much shorter experience.
I shall be in your pocket if required, I notice I've missed some pocket duties for you. Sorry (((())))Hey little fighter, things will get brighter0 -
Mig.I have never waited long for the MRI ones ..but the CT scan took around a month..hopefully yours will be shorter..will be in your pocket...Love
