Thanks so much for everyone's kind words and advice. It sounds like in either scenario it's good to bring someone, so I will ask my mum if she can get the morning off so that she can take me. Also a great idea to write questions down, I have been terrible at forgetting what the consultant has said in my appointments so far! Thank you all very much for your support and I will give an update tomorrow xx

Hi i was wondering should I be worried my doctor received my cervical biopsy the day after I got it done but was told they can't give results over the phone and need to wait for my letter if it was bad news would I been ask to come in sooner just thought that was quick for them to get results as was told it could take up to 4 weeks as there is a backlog 

Hi Cat,

It is impossible to answer your question. Your consultant has probably given you the 4 week timeline for your biopsy results, because these have to be discussed at a multidisciplinary team meeting (MDT) after they come back. These are usually held on a weekly basis, but, depending on how busy your clinic is, not all cases can be discussed immediately. Most surgeons prefer to give results, whether good or bad, face-to-face, but this is not always possible.

My hubby got sent a letter informing him of his cancer diagnosis, after waiting 9 weeks for his biopsy results. I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer and on both occasions, my surgeon told me personally. On another occasion, my surgeon stated that he was pretty sure that I had cancer, but biopsy proved otherwise. Despite the outcome, I was still given the result in person.

I hope that you don't have to wait much longer to get the results. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on, We are always here for you.

Kind regards.
