I need a repeat X-ray - how long to delay my interview?

"We thought the same thing - but if you have sent all your paper work through to the embassy the will schedule your interview WITHOUT your medical being complete even though it states that you will be sent away on the website. Hang in there. Ross was able to return for his interview on August 8th and then go back for his chest films that day and they sent them through to the embassy the next day. We thought we would be held up for another 8+ weeks but we are looking at the same timeline now"

Here's a question,

Just got back from my GP the xray shows a small shadow which is small scarring from a bout of plerosy I had years ago, no chest infection, so my GP will not give me antibiotics. Have called the Med Centre in London, they need proof, so need my GP to forward xray and report, unfortunately it is not the policy here in Wales to pop an xray on a disc or email and forwrd it. So I have had to request my medical information be released to me, at another financial cost and a time frame of up to 40 days! At this point I am wishing my GP had just doled out antibiotics then I could have made a new appointment for my follow up xray.

Obviously my follow up xray will be identical to the 2 previous ones... my question is, has anyone had the follow xray showing the same results as the first but been deemed as healthy??

Can I be cheeky and ask how long ago it was that you had pleurisy? I had it too, along with pneumonia, about 13 years ago. Not sure whether I'll need to get anything in advance from my GP for this, worried something will show up on the x-ray now...

Hi sorry about the delay in my response, just noticed the posting. I had pleurisy for a few weeks, I ended up having to arrange an xray with my gp and have the radiology report sent on disc to London, twice, with a few weeks between, it held us up by a few weeks but have now been approved, as of yesterday and will be flying out next week The whole process including the medical delay took just 6 months! had we not had the medical week delay, it would have been just less than 5 months Good luck!
