7 week wait to or biopsy results at Brighton

I had a lymph node biopsy of my neck 7 weeks ago. My GP practice never answers and they didn't contact me about the off blood test results ever. I saw them on the NHS App but there has been no follow up. I'm having sweats, chills and restless legs. I called the consultant secretary 3 time, left a message and nobody called me back.  What on earth can I do! I do not feel safe. 

  • Hello BiddyDumling and thanks for your post,

    I am sorry to hear about your situation.

    If you haven't contacted Pals (Patient Advice and Liaison Service). I would get in touch with them and ask them to look in to it for you.

    I am sorry you haven't been able to get in touch with your GP. You may find it easier to go to the surgery in person and let them know that you are having difficulty getting through.

    I can understand how unsettling it can be waiting for results but try if you can not to overthink it for now. There are other conditions other then cancer that may explain your symptoms but it would be reassuring for you to know more.

    I do hope that things become clearer this week.

    If you would find it helpful to talk any of this through with one of the nurses on the helpline then you are welcome to give us a ring.

    Our helpline number is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and our lines are open Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.

    All the best,

    Catherine
