Waiting for results - mouth lump removal

Hi,

 

i had a 2ww referral from my GP was seen with in the 2 weeks and had the lump removed 1 week later, had a lump removed from my cheek 15th of March, results are booked for 29th. I'm wondering if anyone has had the same and how long it took for results to come through?

I'm also worried it's all happening so quick which is also fantastic by the NHS , 3 weeks from GP appointment to having it all taken out. 

if results come earlier than expected do they call you? 
 

the wait is causing my anxiety to flare :( 

 

thanks in advance 

  • Hi There 

     

    I also had 2ww referral for a mass to the soft palate .  I had a biopsy 2 weeks ago and get my reaults Tuesday .  the date was given to me the day I left hospital following my biopsy operation under general anaesthetic

    I think it is pretty much normal procedure on timings  - the waiting game has messed with my head badly and I obtained medication from my GP to help me cope  - it helps but of course I am still scared beyond belief and pretty much think I  know the outcome from my own research

    If things get too tough ask your GP for something to help you get through this anxious time of limbo

  • Thank you so much for replying. 
     

    i hope you all the best for the results please let me know how you get on. I hope it's good news on Tuesday. 
    I am guessing the 2 weeks is the given time then. 
     

    yeah I might give them a ring tomorrow. I'm juggling a full time job, my 6 year old son and the stress of this is just making everything worse :( 

     

    thanks you and take care x 

  • Hi both, 

    Hope you're doing ok today. I found a hard lump on my oropharynx last week and I'm really scared. So far I was put on urgent referral but I've only got a phone call appointment. I'm pushing to see someone in person. 

    Did you have blood tests too?

    I'm so anxious. 

    sending you positive vibes.

  • Hi, 

     

    Thanks for replying. I haven't had any blood tests as yet which suprises me, have they sent you for any? 
     

    the wait is horrendous. So your telephone call was it with a consultant? Have they said you will get a face to face? I would push for one too. 
     

    My referral went to from the GP for the 2WW and I was seen within 10 days at the hospital. I would ring you GP back if you don't get an appointment soon to be seen in person. 
     

    praying everything is ok with you.

  • Hi There 

    My lump waa to the oropharynx too ( soft palate for me) it was very sore and angry .  I was seen face to face by ENT so you should sway this with them too , stamp your feet if you have too 

    All the best
