Delay to breast core biopsy results....

I had a core breast biopsy at the end of march and was booked an appointment 10 days later to collect my results 

The day before results day I had a call saying the results weren't back yet and they added an extra week waiting time , so now due to get them this Friday.

 

Anyone else in a similar situation? I don't know if the delays are due to Covid related staff shortages (which would make sense ATM) or because they found something than needs further tests?

 

I just wish they had told me why they were delayed! Naturally I would be a lot less concerned if I knew it was due to staff shortages....

If anyone has had a similar experience at this current time?

    Hi Kandykate, Plumlet, Songbird & Suty,

    There are many delays due to Coid. However there are also seasonal delays. Chances are that some of your care staff are on holiday for Easter, especially if they have children. Try not to think the worst - there is often a very simple explanation. I hope that you all hear soon. In the meantime please remember that we are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

    Hi Suty, 

    Yes I think you're right about it not being anything negative.

    I was told today that my appointment was moved on a week due to Good Friday.

    Best wishes for your results :happy:
