Do bad results come back quicker?

Hi, been coping really well, but have down days, & today is one of them, I have been in limbo with all this since March! Had Biopsy on Tuesday it says a week to two for results! Have Bipolar & really struggling today, will I get a letter soon?

Thank you.

  • Hello and thanks for posting

    It is never easy waiting to get results especially with the added stress of having bipolar. I hope you have support in managing this condition.

    Hospitals can vary in the way their patients receive their results. They can be given face to face, or by letter or telephone. It can also take 2 to 4 weeks to get biopsy results. But regardless of how someone receives their results from their doctor, there is no way of knowing what the results will show, so try not to over think things for now.

    Easier said than done but try and take it one step at a time until you know more. Some people find talking it through with family and friends and keeping busy can sometimes help. 

    I hope you know more soon. Give us a ring if you would like to talk things over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,
