Hi just had a Exision biopsy on arm with suspected Squamous cell skin lesion. i totally forgot to ask how long it takes for results to come back ? Could you please let me know how long it usually takes. Thank you

  • I had a wide excision biopsy on a possible soft tissue sarcoma on my upper arm on 4 April... it'll be 6 weeks tomorrow and i have still not had my results... and I'm private through BUPA.  The wait is agonising although i do think for me its because soft tissue sarcoma is so rare and a specialist pathologist has to review it... no news is good news as they say but that feeling in the pit of your stomach is unbearable sometimes!  I think on the NHS site it says usually 2-3 weeks but obviously that's very general.  I have been keeping in touch with my consultants secretary who bless him is also at his witts end chasing.  I think what made it worse for me is they told me the results were back then rang me and said the pathologist wanted to do more tests... so that has gotten me a nervous wreck and that was almost 4 weeks ago.  Good luck.. hope everything is benign xx
