  • Hi,

    I'm waiting for a letter.to get to see someone to llol at my tongue, had a call from the hospital last week now waiting for the appointment letter. How long did it take from being referred to getting the biopsy?

  • My most recent tongue biopsy (suspected possible recurrence from treatment 7 years ago) was 90 minutes after initial examination, simply because there was a free slot! 7 years ago a week or so as far as I recall. 

    In short it no doubt varies enormously from time to time and place to place. If you search on NHS waiting  times you should find info for your local Trust/hospital.

    Good luck.

    Dave.
