Uterine polyp & lining biopsy - timescales for results

Hi, i'm waiting for biopsy results from a large uterine polyp & womb lining (found during an ultrasound due to post menopausal bleeding).  The biopsy / polyp were taken just over 3 weeks ago on 28th December.  I've found myself googling whether it's bad news if you get the results more quickly, or slowly! the wait is driving me to distraction.  Can anyone shed any light on how long the results take at the moment for this type of biopsy?

I have just recovered from a distal pancreatectomy to remove a neuroendocrine tumour, so this is a real blow & the wait is really getting me down now.

Any insights would be really appreciated.

Thank you :)

    Hi if it were me I would ring the Hospital where the tests took place ,over 3 weeks seems more than enough time to at least make an appointment to see you or even ring or send a letter .I've heard of many on here ringing up when they haven't heard anything ,I'm sure if they've got the results back they will tell you .

    i should have said, I called the hospital yesterday morning. The receptionist had a look for me, then said she’d spoken to her manager & they would email the team to ask one of them to call me to discuss the results.  It’s not filled me with confidence & nobody called yesterday/today… :(
