Biopsy results taking ages - what can I do?

I had stomach biopsy 4 weeks ago I was on 28 day pathway I have head nothing what do I do?

  • Hi there and thanks for the post

    I am sorry to hear you are awaiting biopsy results and are concerned about he time it is taking.

    Unfortunately it can take time for results to be processed and reviewed by the doctor but as it has been a month it is worth calling the hospital you are under. If you have the number of the unit you had the biopsy carried out you could call them directly.

    The hospital should be able to look you up on the system to see where the results may be and how much longer you may need to wait.

    I appreciate this must be an anxious and unsettling time for you and I really do hope you know more very soon.

    Do get back in touch if you would like to. Alternatively give us a bell on 0808 800 4040, we're here weekdays 9-5.

    Best wishes

    Naomi
