Still no biopsy results 8 weeks after tonsillectomy

Had tonsils removed 8 weeks ago due to one being larger than the other (been like this for years) but they wanted to removed to be certain. Still no biopsy results? I’ve rang the secretary and she just says they aren’t back yet. Has anyone else experienced this ? 

  • Hi catmum12345,

    This does sound like a long time to have been waiting. I'm not sure if you were given an estimate of how long to expect to wait. If it has gone beyond this, normally we would suggest to give the hospital a call to try to find out more. You can always try this again, and try to get an answer as to what is going on and how long to potentially expect to continue waiting.

    I hope that you're able to hear more soon and to get some answers.

    Wishing you all the best,
