Husband finally receiving a full body scan today...How do the results work?!


Question: Husband finally receiving a full body scan today...How do the results work.?
He was told he will find out the results right away. That the scan will take an hour and half and he will walk with results papers. But I am wondering if they are like.. "THIS IS EXACTLY" what is wrong or will it be like a Foreign Language and a doctor needs to translate.?

Its a private company doing the scan, giving hubby results before he leaves...?

Any opinions or experiences.? I am just courious.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
as you know I just went through this. I wasn't given any information. My doctor didn't even call me. I called them and they said "you have a tumor on your colon go to the gastro" and you have a tumor on your uterus, go to the gyno.
nobody told me sh*t. it was the worst experience ever. Haz and I went through the catscan results and translated it, but it left a lot to be desired for. (gotta love haz though, she's super smart and a nurse)

so hopefully he gets to go to a doctor who knows what they're doing.

the gyno and the gastro broke it down for me eventually and the tumor removed.

but honestly I dont know what I would have done without my friends!!

good luck to your husband!!Health Question & Answer

The point of a scan is not to provide a diagnosis. It's to provide information so that a doctor can make a diagnosis.

So, while the people who performed the test may have an opinion about what is wrong with your husband, they will not tell you that opinion, and they are not getting paid to find out what's wrong.Health Question & Answer

The scan results will first be looked at and read by a radiologist. Then explained to your husband in lay-mans terms by either the radiologist himself , by your husbands primary care doctor or the physician that ordered the scan.

Either way i'm sure it will be explained to him where he can understand it!
It's always good to ask as many .?.? as needed of the doctors until you feel well informed.

Good Luck~Health Question & Answer

then pin a list of good Q's to his shirt so the techie can fill out the answers for you when he sends hubby home.

and, it may be a case of outsourcing. let the lab do it and then the patient takes the report to the doc for answers.?

hope hes ok soon, and able to perform. im getting tired of these bi-coastal affairs im having. do you then fly home and do the wife. then fly back and do you and......... lmaoHealth Question & Answer

Just went through one a few months ago. They will give him the information to take to his doctor. So hopefully everything comes back well. I was not so lucky, I have to meet a specialist next week to follow up with surgery soon. Good luck, my thoughts will be with you both.Health Question & Answer

most likely it will be in "medicalese" and he will need a professional to translate the results.Health Question & Answer
