  • Hello Cazzy22, 

    It will be such a stressful time for you as you are going through all these tests and dealing with so much uncertainty at the moment but I wanted you to know that you are not alone and other members of our community will know exactly how you are feeling at the moment having been through something similar themselves and I hope that they will be along to share their experience with you. 

    The long wait for all these test results can be so difficult and it can feel like time is standing still and you are left in limbo. We have information on our website on the biopsy and it mentions that it should take about 2 weeks for results to come through. It is normal to be scared during this anxious time - the waiting game is certainly not easy and I thought I would share with you these helpful tips to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

    Keeping everything tightly crossed for you that it all turns out to be nothing of concern,
