Awaiting Tonsil Biopsy Results / New Lump in Neck

Hi All, 

I had a tonsillectomy on 10th February where they took my right tonsil due to it having been enlarged since Christmas. prior to the surgery, I was advised there was a small chance of it being lymphoma. I was advised I would receive the results of the biopsy within 2-3 weeks and I will receive the results via letter, it will be three weeks tomorrow and I have today found a new pea-sized lump in my neck. 

As I am sure you can understand I am anxious about my results and was wondering if anyone who has been in the same position could advise how long it was before they received their results? 

I looked on the NHS website ( I know googling is bad but after nearly three weeks I'm getting very anxious) and I saw that it states the hospital has 28 days to diagnose? 

Just to confirm (as I know time frames can be different depending on where you live) I'm in Essex

  • Hi Scared234. I just wondered if you received your results and if it was good news? How long did they take?

    I too had a biopsy for the same reason on 4th March. They said they would have results within a few days and call me with them assuming all negative. I've still not heard anything. I am in Suffolk.

    I really hope you got good news.

    Take care
