Biopsy results

Hi everyone,

I can see a tread that is over 2 years old do I hope you don't mind this repeated question.

I had an endometrial biopsy on the 10/8 so nearly 5 weeks ago.

I've been informed the sample was sent out and they can't get an update.

I'm terribly anxious. 
 

What is a normal cancer pathway wait for biopsy results now?

Can I assume that no news is good news?

 

My malignant melanoma results took 3 weeks plus under a 2 week pathway but that was before Covid hit.

 

arghhhhh

  • Hi Dollyday dream, i would ask your consultants secretary or whoe ever referred you for the biopsy to see how long it might be. My recent results for a carcinoma just took a week and a half but were done in house however I had endoscopy biopsies taken in April or May, need to check diary and they still haven't reached my GP ( she referred me for the endoscopy) My plan is to speak with her and ask her to call the hospital to find out what is happening just incase the results were just not forwarded on.

    I hope you hear soon

    best wishes HM

  • Hi HM, thanks for replying.
