Uterine biopsy results

I am waiting for results of uterine biopsy, carried following post menopausal bleed, scan showed womb lining thickened (19mm). Consultant said she would phone if further treatment required otherwise she would write me. It has been 4 weeks since biopsy and at 1830 tonight I had missed call from hospital on a number that does not accept return calls. I am really anxious now - would they have called back if urgent? 

  • Hello Hilz2511, 

    You would normally expect to get your results from a biopsy within about two weeks so as it's been 4 weeks I think you should definitely call the hospital back on Monday or at least your GP surgery to find out whether they have your results and what the next steps might be. It's normal to be feeling anxious but try not to worry too much if you can - the best thing to do really is to give them a call tomorrow and mention that you missed that call and wanted to find out more about your results. 

    I am keeping everything tightly crossed for you that it all turns out to be fine for you and that you get some definite answers soon. 

    Best wishes,
