The waiting is agony and it's really affecting me. I'm waking up in a panic throughout the night.
How long do people wait for biopsy results?

Hi Fairydust,
A very warm welcome to our forum. Most of us would agree that waiting for results is one of the worst parts of our cancer journey. The early hours of the morning always seem to be the worst time for this. You do not say what type of cancer you have been tested for. This can have a bearing on how long you may have to wait. Another factor that affects waiting times can be how busy your hospital department is. On average, it takes from 1-3 weeks to get results for breast cancer and about 8 weeks for skin cancer.
I sincerely hope that you hear something soon. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.
Kind regards,
Jolamine xx

It is womb cancer. GP went from o to 1000 over 1 symptom I've had for years. Consultant seemed unconvinced but has now lied and said she told me the opposite to what she said in my consultant (underlying condition not the cancer element), hubby was witness and heard the same as me. But it has left me questioning her whole thoughts including the possible cancer.
