Hi all. I am the daughter of newly diagnosed stage 4 nsclc patient (lung cancer) and my poor mum has been waiting for her biopsy results for 4 weeks now. Is this normal?! The hospital are chasing the lab every day but with every week that goes by we are getting more and more anxious as we were originally told it would be up to 10 days.
feeling really helpless and this is preventing us from booking her first appointment with the oncologist and getting a treatment plan which is having a huge negative effect on her mental health. Her macmillan nurses are being great but it’s not really the point if we are stuck waiting to speak to a doctor.
any advice welcome. Is anyone else in the same boat? (To clarify, we had her results a week later but this is the extra sample that got sent away for testing for genetic mutations / biomarkers etc)
