Hi Claire,

I am also waiting for biopsy results, and have been told that they typically take 10-15 days. Try not to worry, and just be there for your Mum. It helps so much to have a quiet, calm and loving presence while recovering from surgery. Remember that she is likely scared, and needs you to remain positive.

All the best to you both.

Hello and thanks for posting,

It can take several weeks for the results of any biopsies to be sent back to the original referring consultant. They may have a hospital MDT (multi disciplinary team) meeting, where the hospital surgical team discuss new patients with other specialists, such as cancer specialists. Once follow up care has been discussed, and they have a plan, then they will make contact with the patient to discuss this further. This can be an outpatient clinic appointment, or a telephone call. Any documentation is also usually sent to the patient's GP as well.

I hope that this reply helps,

Kind regards,
