How will I recieve results

I had a hysterectomy on the 19th Oct and am waiting for results from the removal of complex ovarian cyst. I've recied a letter today to go for an appointment in December but unsure if I will receive results before then? 

Thankyou

  • Hi June06 and thank you for posting.

    I hope you are recovering well from your recent hysterectomy. I am unsure if you will have the results of your surgery beforehand, you may do or the doctor will discuss them with you in December at your appointment. You could try and call the consultant's secretary and they may be able to give you more of an idea.

    I am sorry I cannot be more helpful on this occasion.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Take care and do get back to us if you need to.

  • Thankyou Jemma, I've rang the secretary who said the results are there and she was going to get a letter sent out. I'm hoping this will be soon and will be good news; if it was cancer would they not call me up before now. Pp

  • Hello June06 and thanks for your further post

    I don't think anyone can presume that the hospital would have contacted them sooner to get their results if there was anything to be worried about. Everything will hopefully be fine but you need your hospital team to confirm this for you.

    I appreciate waiting when you are worried is stressful but hopefully you will know more soon. 

    Kind regards,

  • Hi June06 - i had a full abdominal hysterectomy on 14th September for a mass which originated from my left ovary. When i saw the surgeon the day after the operation he said it looked benign but it would go to biopsy. I was advised by letter around 6 weeks later that that i had  ovarian   fibrothecomas on both ovaries but they were completely benign  and no further treatment was required. Hope my similar experience has helped and that you are recovering well 

  • Thankyou Karen, I appreciate your experience , it does help. I also spoke to surgeon the day after and he said we'dhave to wait for results. I have been recovering well, better than I'd expected but good, I hope you are too. 

    Thankyou

  • Thankyou for your reply. I'm waiting for the letter so I can feel like I can start to move forward again.
