Why so long?

I had my Ultra Sound scan yesterday. It took four weeks for the appointment. I saw a ENT specialitst in the morning he wanted me to have a scan, I told him the GP had arranged one already and that was in the afternoon. He gave me a note to give to the scanner asking them to do a biopsy at the same appointment. When I got there I was told that was not possible, so now I have to wait for that appointment to come through again. Meanwhile I was given an appointment to see the ENT specialist again in 3 weeks to discuss the outcome of the tests. What will happen if the biopsy isn't done in time? The worry that I and my Wife are going through is hard enough, with the kids begining to pick up on this as well is even harder, without the goal posts constantly being moved.
