I’ve waited anything from 10 days to 6 weeks for biopsy results…I always asked for them to be emailed to me and they always have been, apart from when they found atypia hyperplasia in a polyp they removed…then they rang with an appointment…I got so stressed by it all that they got a nurse to ring me and tell me over the phone…I then attended the appointment knowing what I’d be told…the reason for the appointment was to discuss what they recommended as treatment which is a hysterectomy, that’s booked for September.

I hope you aren’t waiting too much longer x

Hi MrsAA  I still havent heard anything so I actually called the hospital yesterday to see what was going on, the secretary said that the sample is still with the lab! I did ask her if the results could be emailed to me, but she said that wasn't possible and a letter would come through the post, I guess different hospitals work differently. No wonder you got stressed, its such big news to receive via letter/email, I understand that the department will be extremely busy but I just think its a bit impersonal.

Did you have thickening of the endometrium lining too? Mine is 27mm, which the consultant said was "grossly thickened"

My lining was 8mm but I’m postmenopausal, in 2019 it was 7.6mm (postmenopausal) but anything over 4-5mm in postmenopausal is a referral, I think when you are younger it’s slightly different because you are still having periods, so I can’t be much help there, sorry! 

My consultants Secretary has been absolutely brilliant, and I told him this as well.

I’m sure you won’t have to wait too much longer now for your results, sometimes you have to make a nuisance of yourself, I’d be phoning the secretary again in a few days to chase things further…there is no reason why a letter can’t be emailed to you once it’s been signed off by the consultant…it’s the same letter you’d just not have to wait a further week while it’s in the postal system x
