Colonoscopy biopsy

Hi, I attended hospital on the 20th June this year for a colonoscopy. The doctor took 4 biopsies from polyps I had in my stomach. I still haven't had my results, and that was 19 weeks ago. Shouldn't I be worried.

  • Hello Yarjay, and thank you for posting, 

    I am sorry you have these concerns about the biopsies that were taken in June. I would suggest you speak to your doctor or the team that organised the colonoscopy to see if the results are available.

    Polyps are generally not cancerous, but it would be good to know the exact results.

    Take care and hopefully, you know more soon. If you find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline the number is Freephone 0808 800 4040. The lines are open from 9 am till 5 pm, Monday to Friday.

    Sarah.
