No results after 10 weeks biopsy

Hi i went for a colposcopy on the 12th December were the nurses took a biopsy. After a couple of weeks i was stressed but no i am trying to think positively. I contacted the colposcopy clinic yesterday and they have said the nurse is still handling/looking at my notes and she will chase it up and get back to me. Everyone around me is saying it must be fine because 10 weeks is a long time to wait and they would have let you know if anything serious. But something is making me worried thinking is it taking so long as they are getting 2nd opinions. It could just be busy but i do think 10 weeks is a very long time to wait for results. I was told i would get my results in 8 weeks!

  • Hi Katrina...I had a colonoscopy on 17th Dec and was told the waiting time for results is 20 weeks in my area, so I understand your concern and frustration.  I had 6 biopsies taken along with photos.  I have been in contact with the medical secretary to my Colorectal consultant,  who had been helpful and supportive.  I was told last week that my results are in from pathology,  now have to be seen by consultant,  letter dictated, signed and then will be sent to me.. so I'm hoping to hear something within the next few weeks... the NHS guidelines for colonoscopy results is 2-3 weeks on website..when I mentioned this, I was told 'we haven't been able to achieve/offer that timeline for a long while'  guess we have to wait...
