I've just had my scan , I asked the radiographer if she could see anything she said she could see gallstones , I asked her if she could see anything sinister she said she couldn't, but had to send report back to dr for my results , she kept taking photos of different parts & measuring them, does anybody know if this is routine? And do you think she would of told me if she could see anything sinister when I asked? HATE HEALTH ANXIETY : (

She didn't have to tell you anything but she told you she could see gall stones. I am sure she would never have told you that if she could see worse. I also had a scan that showed gall stones and I am sure the photos etc. are routine as the consultant will want some idea of the size of the gall stones. :)

Most of them won't say anything so I wouldn't worry. The doctor has to look at it and give the results.

They scan the whole area to see if any of the stones have 'migrated'. Yes I have had mine removed. They did it with keyhole surgery.

Illgetthere what was your scan for? I think some radiographers are not allowed to comment even if theirs nothing to report, so try not to worry, I know its hard x x

The radiographer told me I had gallstones but when I had the barium they said they couldn't tell me anything. There was nothing wrong when I saw the consultant for the results.

It depend what the blood tests were for but I am sure they would have shown anything bad. Also I am sure they would have sorted the results quicker than 10 days if it was bad. :hugs::hugs:
