If anything, that seems like you've had to wait. Certain cancer referrals are done via a 2 week pathway. When i say "cancer" referrals, that includes stuff that they aren't 100% sure about and just need to take a belts and braces approach, in case.

So i wouldn't be overly worried or concerned about the time frame. The only way most solid tumours can be diagnosed is via a biopsy. Scans, bloods etc etc, don't really tell them anything other than what you currently know. So don't be shocked if she gets told she may need a biopsy, it's what they do as to confirm if it's good or bad. The majority get told good news.

Thank you. 

Yes, we seem to be somewhere between urgent & non urgent. As mentioned, original "it's nothing but needs a look" from GP nurse then a phone call from hospital & fast appointment. In a daft way we were hoping to be reassured (I know it's daft) by a longish wait.

We'll see I guess but thanks for context. 

You couldn't make this up.

Wife originally seen in March in well woman clinic. cAs described here, polyp spotted & told nothing to worry about. They said they'd follow up.

Nothing back til che chased in late Apr. Bloods & HPV smear fine.

Had phone call from gynae saying that they were sorting a referral.

...Now, just had letter saying this is 2 week wait with appt this Thu to exclude cancer!!!!!!!!!

Needless to say this has really thrown us. An urgent 2ww referral after only a nurse saw her in March & said nothing to worry about??
