I had a biopsy taken 11 days ago, iv had no calls about results yet. Am I correct in thinking they would have informed me by now if anything had been found?

I'm afraid biopsy results are taking much longer these days. The surgeon should have given you some indication as when to expect them back. Waiting times differ slightly depending on what type of cancer you have - all I know is that melanoma biopsy results are taking an average of 4 weeks at the moment. If you haven't heard anything by later this week I would suggest contacting the consultant's secretary of the department you are under & ask if they can give you an idea as to how long they are taking. Good luck.

Yeah, my biopsy results for an ovarian cyst took 4 weeks 3.5 years ago. It wasn't cancer but I'm sorry to say I don't think you can glean the results of biopsy from how long they take. Histology just has a back log.
Wishing you all the best. It's a horrible period waiting for news.
I was told 2 weeks but thought if they had found anything I would have been told earlier.
I live in Cheshire and have been told results are taking x6 weeks - been waiting nearly 4 weeks already xx
