Hello - my mum is getting a bronchoscopy today to see if she has lung cancer. I wondered whether they ever give results on the day? Or will we need to wait for the results of biopsies etc?
Regarding bronchoscopy results, it’s difficult to say but according to the information I found on our website, detailed results from any biopsies or samples taken typically take between 1 to 2 weeks to be processed and reviewed, you can read more about on this link on bronchoscopy I’m including here.
If you have questions or need someone to talk to in the meantime, you might find it helpful to speak with one of our nurses. They are available on freephone 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, from 9am to 5pm. While they cannot provide medical opinions or diagnoses, they can offer information and support.
I hope this information is helpful. Please remember that you're not alone, and we're here for you whenever you need to talk.
