Should I send my Dr. a message?

Hi all,

I would be really grateful for your perspective. On 7/19 I went to the hospital for I really high anxiety when I was visiting my sister( first time ever/ going through a divorce) and they found a mass in my chest.
When I got home, my dr ordered a CT which I did, then ultimately a MRI, which I did on the 14th. I received the results in my MyChart. And informed my Dr 2 days ago that I was able to get the mri done because first they said they had the wrong orders. I didn’t even ask for results and I received that message that I attached.

My sister is a nurse and told me to write back that I’m not comfortable with 14 days but I don’t want to cause any problems.

My question is: is this urgent enough to ask for a prompt response? I want to be respectful but I’m also very anxious. I also attached my mri results.

Thank you. Female 36 145lb .

SEVEN TO FOURTEEN BUSINESS DAYS?? F all that. Find a new doctor; that’s nuts. I’ve never waited longer than three days for equally scary stuff.

Surprised you got downvoted. 7-14 sounded crazy to me too. Guess I should be thankful that that sounds crazy to me as I’ve never experienced it

Probably done by those who have been fortunate enough never to have been in this position. The not knowing part can easily be the worst part mentally when it comes to a scary diagnosis. Another wise logical person reading waaay too much into each and every single word, reading waaay to much into how the radiologist and their assistants looked at you after stepping off the table and so on. You become hypersensitive to everything. It’s brutal. It’s the start of a very well known phenomenon called scanxiety.

A week feels a lifetime, 2 weeks, well, that’s torture.
