Hi EllaW, I'm sorry your having so much trouble getting your results ,I've had a simular experience, I had vulva biobsy taken on the 8th December 2021,and have been worried sick  as I've had breast cancer  a lumpectomy and all lympthnodes were removed from under my right arm as three contained cancer , I inished chemotherapy in December 2020,and Radiotherapy in March 2021,so it's not been long,and I've found another lump  in the same breast  and have just got appointment through for that to be checked out in the breast clinic on 26th January 2022, next Wednesday,so like you have had a lot going on .  I had to chase up my results from my biobsy as it had been 5 weeks and 3 days and I hadnt heard anything. I called my GP to see if they had heard anything back,they hadn't  but said they would try and chase it up,I left messages with the gynecologist secretary, three times,I called a direct line number I was given  but no one picked up the call.  So in the end I called the main hospital and spoke to the operator, explained I'd been trying to find out about my results,and gave her the number of the direct line I was given,and explained I'd been calling it for weeks,and no one was picking up my call. The operator  said " let me try for you,they may pick up ,and lo and behold they did,so I was able to  speak to someone,and was told I had Vin3,pre cancerous cells,and  my gynecologist would write to me and my GP. So maybe try that if you can get  a direct line number,or just call the operator at your main hospital and explain, like I did,they will probably put you through to the relevant  department or ward. Good luck  ,and I hope you get some answers soon.

Hi Jassoscared

You're going through so much. I do hope your appointment at the breast clinic goes as well as it can.  I really feel for you. I can't understand the waiting, especially when they have your biopsy results. I think this just makes it so much harder all round, especially as you've had so many worries to deal with.

Thank you so much for your advice about calling on a direct line, or going via the operator to get through to them (the latter worked for me once when trying to get through to a department and I'd forgotten how useful that idea can be).

​​​​​​​Thank you! Good luck on the 26th. xxx
