Biopsy waiting times

Hi,I had a biopsy taken from my gum.I have recovered a letter to see the consultant in eight weeks? I wondered if it is a sinister diagnosis,would they get back to me quicker or is this a normal timeframe?

    I am sorry to hear you are awaiting results and appreciate the anxiety this can cause.

    I'm afraid the time you need to wait for results won't indicate what the outcome will be.

    I hope everything turns out okay for you but please get back in touch if needed.

    Best wishes
