I had bowel cancer last year and had my 6th month scan which showed clear in March. I should have had a second scan at the beginning of September. It's been delayed to the middle of October. I think 6 weeks is not too bad given the circumstances. Hospitals are clearing the backlog according to my specialist but it will clearly take a while. In London they have shifted the operations and cancer teams to isolated hospitals - in my surgeon's case to a private hospital - while scans and analyses remain within the Trust hospitals. This all seems reasonable given the circumstances.
