biopsy and waiting for report

Hi i have just had my biopsy don last sunday i was booked in at a hospitl 60mis away from where i live in Carlisle we have just spent 32million on a new cancer treatment building where it is a one stop for all things cancer well excpet colon cancer or bowle cancer or any form of biopsy regarding cancer in that case you drive to another hospital for it 

let me tell you of my experance 

so appointment at 120clock so the people i sat with i asked do you know whats going on as i did not get anthing expect the letter saying to be there at 12oclock it talks about a pamflet but we did not get one nor anyone eles there 

so i striped off sat on a chair said good by to the wife only to find out its a free for all unless you paid so you had people who had paid and rugh typs like me on NHS i sat there for 5 hrs on a sunday with all the cofie shops closed i had nothing to drink or eat befour i came out as not sure if i had to or not a very nice nurce came out at 515 and said your up finished at 630 set off home very uncomfterble 60mils drive home 

i rang up asking about the results the doctors office lady said 3 weeks is this about right i know its daft of me to read the gov web site they say 2/3 days all i can say dont get ill in cumbria its a 3rd state hear unless you have plentty of cash what have i been paying into my ni for 

Sorry last bit the 32million building dose not have any doctors nhs directors need sacking and fast 

  • Hello cumbriaman, 

    Poor you it sounds like you had a difficult experience and I hope that you won't have to wait too long now for your biopsy results. It's strange that you were told 3 weeks when the government website mentions two or three days. I am not sure what kind of biopsy you had but according to our website, you would normally get your results within two weeks. It won't be too long now until you get some definite answers! 

    I hope that you will hear from other members of our forum who have been through this before and that they will share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine!

    Best wishes,
