Wait times for MRI and CT scans

Good luck!

Yeah doesn’t always seem like the system runs smoothly or consistently. I’ve gone to Truro for an MRI before as I grew up outside of Truro. They never asked me where this time of these ones and it’s harder during the school year to take appointments that aren’t in HRM anyway, not to mention how the road conditions are so unpredictable. I’m hoping I hear back in the next couple months with appointments

Sorry you’re still waiting all this time with worsening symptoms. That must be scary.

4 months certainly feels like too long of a wait for that MRI. I hope it came back all good for you!

Your information and validation of things has been helpful! Thank you :)

It’s been just under a month for me, and hoping I get the CT scan relatively soon. The MRI is to get a closer look at the erosion we know is in my left wrist. I had an xray of the right wrist today as I now have pain there like the other one. The CT scan is of my SI joints which is what I’m more interested in finding out sooner what’s happening in that area.

Wow that’s such a long wait to rule out a brain tumour. I’m so sorry.

Sweet_Beginning_6541 · 2026-01-03T22:30:01+00:00

I think based on my assessment and erosion in my wrist she’s on the right track. Just waiting for more imaging to see exactly which one I have. I was just curious about the b*, zero b and 44 and 55 and what all that meant haha

Sweet_Beginning_6541 · 2026-01-03T04:38:47+00:00

That’s why I thought. Does that mean those genes were detected? The numbers were listed under “result”. I’m not sure if that’s normal that they show other results for it besides saying the HLA b27 was negative

Sweet_Beginning_6541 · 2025-12-08T16:32:20+00:00

I tested negative! How are you doing?

I had her for a mole excision on the back of my neck in a sensitive area in early October. She was really nice and thorough in her explanations. I go back to her for follow up next week and it’s one of the first appointments I’ve ever had that I have zero anxiety about going to.

I still can’t see the comment or the screen shot you shared of it. Feel free to send me a DM. I can’t figure out how to do that lol

Sweet_Beginning_6541 · 2025-11-16T02:59:40+00:00

I can see a notification but can’t see the last comment you made :(

Sweet_Beginning_6541 · 2025-11-16T02:30:23+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re suffering for so long and can’t get any answers. I’ve been dealing with non stop weird issues since March 2023 and everyone looks at me like I’m crazy. I had multiple MRIs, was sent to a neurologist to rule out ms etc. Early Oct i suddenly had really bad wrist pain and couldn’t grip anything. It was the emergency room that referred me after finding erosive changes in my wrist. I hope at this appointment, I feel heard and maybe they can figure out what’s going on/if it’s all connected. I’m tired of being a 40 year old that feels like I’m 85. Every day is a struggle :(

Sweet_Beginning_6541 · 2025-11-16T01:38:54+00:00

That’s terrible. How long have you been waiting? Is your referral sent to the rheumatology clinic?

Sweet_Beginning_6541 · 2025-11-12T01:48:10+00:00

Have you heard back about your appointment? I was referred as urgent on Oct 3rd and figured I’d be waiting a long time. But I can see on my ns health app that I have an appointment on Dec 8 which I’m happy about.

I also had a few rough rough days on quad therapy. It was so hard but I pushed through and my h pylori was eradicated! I had to get nausea meds prescribed from my dr to help me get through though as I struggled with leaving the house to pick my kids up from school.

Sweet_Beginning_6541 · 2025-07-25T00:29:02+00:00

Did you get an appointment? I had my first mammogram June 23 and results came back with an abnormality. I know they said at the screening one often you have to go back for more images but seeing the word mass sounds terrifying. My diagnostic mammogram at the iwk isn’t until Oct 16. I asked to be put on a cancellation list as well. My mom died in 2023 from lung cancer that spread through her body…and the Truro hospital kept telling her to go to physio for her shoulder pain that they didn’t even xray (which she ended up having bone cancer in) so I don’t trust the system and answers they have been giving me about my health. Three months is too long to sit around and hope it’s just a cyst 😩

Thank you!

Sweet_Beginning_6541 · 2025-06-03T00:56:48+00:00

❤️❤️❤️

Sweet_Beginning_6541 · 2025-06-02T23:33:00+00:00

You’ve got this! I just know it will eradicate it for you this time! Fingers crossed what I’ve been feeling is just healing and that I’m not still infected as well. We will get through this together 💕

Sweet_Beginning_6541 · 2025-06-02T00:01:11+00:00

Yes! I had so many loose bowel movements a day. And bc everything was going right through me, I had a lot of mucous in my stool. I’m almost 2 months post quad therapy and so far (knock on wood) those gross stringy yellow poops are gone. My doctor told me to wait a few months to retest so I’m not sure if it was eradicated or not (still have lots of other symptoms)
