X-RAY CHEST HOW LONG FOLLOW-UP RESULTS?

Hi Everyone

Does anyone know how long it takes to get my follow-up X-ray results back?

Five weeks ago I had a chest xray as I had had a chest infection. These first results showed a ground-glass shadow on the lung and they were back in 2 days when I received a call from the GP. I was then given another set of stronger antibiotics and told to repeat the x-ray which I have just done last week.

I asked the nurse doing the x-ray how long the results would take to come back. She has told me up to 10 days which I find unusual considering the issue found on the first x-ray which was back in 2 days.

I am very worried and would like to know if anyone can tell me when I can expect to get my follow-up results? Thanks
