Still waiting for MRI results after 10 weeks

"Still waiting for MRI results after 10 weeks"

About: Diana, Princess Of Wales Hospital / Colorectal surgery

(as the patient),

I was diagnosed with bowel cancer in May and sent for an MRI at the start of June. I was told I should hear back about the results in a week or two.

Ten weeks later I'm now about to start my fourth round of chemo and I have still not heard anything about my MRI. I think it's awful that I've been made to wait this long with no idea how bad my cancer is.
