need some advice please

Hi I'm having trouble understanding what's happening at the minute as to the diagnosis I've been given. My doctor did a biopsy 2 months ago and he said it showed cancer. Then booked me back in yesterday for another biopsy. Then said he will see me in 8 weeks. Which he said after the first but called me in as soon as he got the results. He did say after the first biopsy they think they've caught it early. Would that be why he did another biopsy confused.... why would he need to do another biopsy if the first showed cancer? 

  • Hello Sally and thanks for your further post

    As Davek mentioned it does seem a long time to wait to be seen, so it would be a good idea to contact your doctor or nurse to see if they can look into this for you.

    Many people begin to worry that if they are diagnosed with cancer that it will spread while they wait to start treatment . Most cancers will not grow that fast that a few weeks delay will be a problem. Most cancers develop over many years and don't show up on a scan until they have been growing for some time. But I appreciate waiting any time when you are worried is stressful.

    I hope you know more about your situation soon.

    Best wishes
