Told to expect ultrasound results within 5 days

Hi all.  I had an ultrasound today (I was urgent referred on Wednesday for it) and was told today to expect my result within 5 days. Is this a standard wait or is this a bad sign?

  • Hi Fayrie, Every hospital is different as is every situation.  Lots of factors like how straightforward the biopsy is, if it needs more tests (which can again be to confirm/rule out for sure, how busy the lab/clinic is, where about in the country you are etc).  Whatever the results the waiting time can be torturous so take 5 days as being good that they will be lessening the waiting time for you.
