I'm sorry you're having to wait so long for your biopsy results Kate.

I know this must be very frustrating, and worrying too, but fingers crossed you receive good news when the time comes.

Hopefully some of our members who have been in this situation will share their experiences and advice with you soon but if you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses, you can contact them on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

I hope this article I've found on how to cope with waiting for news will help as well.

Kind regards,

I'm not really sure this will help, but I'm in similar situation as you but the other direction. I was told my colonoscopy biopsy results would take 4-6 weeks, but today they've been uploaded after 11 days so now I'm worried this means something serious has shown up. 

However, this may reassure you that when I had a colposcopy, my results were sent back a lot quicker to say everything was fine (other than inflammation) but no cancer. I was told could be up to 4 weeks but I was told just under 2 weeks. 

I guess what I'm trying to say is that the wait time can't really determine the outcome of results as I think it can depend on various factors. 

The wait is honestly horrendous and it's the worst part. Take care of yourself!

I waited 5 weeks for my post surgery biopsies to be reported fortunately they were benign. 
I hope you a similar result. 
take care  

try to relax and keep busy. Easier said than done try not to Google as they only give worst cases and not the ones like me
