Colonoscopy

Five weeks in two days since my colonoscopy . No results from 12 biopsies . Positive fit and cal protection illeal thickening Cibh told two to three weeks secretary said waiting to be typed up two weeks ago . Getting really fed up of waiting now, good or bad results I really think it's inexcusable for a secretary to delay me knowing what the issue is, 

  • Hello there and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear you have been waiting so long for the biopsy results taken during the colonoscopy and appreciate how unsettling this must be for you.

    It is worth trying to speak to the secretary again to ask what the delay may be and if there is anyone else you could speak to in the meantime if these are still not ready.

    Failing that if you haven't already raised this issue with the hospitals PALS department ( Patient Advice Liaison Service) explained here. They are able to offer support to patients and will investigate where needed to hopefully help to resolve a situation.

    I hope you know more soon and that everything works out okay.

    Best wishes

    Naomi
