If you have cancer and you need to wait three months for (the results of) a scan, the cancer may very well have become inoperable or have spread to other organs in the meantime.

I obviously can’t comment on everyone’s experience, but for the few people I know that did get cancer (including my mother) they were all scheduled scans within two weeks and had results delivered within another two (or less especially for the first diagnosis).
In my mother’s case everything moved extremely quickly, due to the doctor suspecting something serious the first scan was scheduled in a few days and the results were back before a week had passed.

Good to hear that it all moved quickly for your mum.
But, not everyone is so lucky unfortunately. It seems mid an south Essex are the worst places to be when you have cancer.
