  • Hello Valley1

    I'm sorry to hear that you're currently waiting for biopsy results. It can be a worrying time. 

    It's good to know that you've been given a rough time scale for when you might hear some news. It can sometimes take a little longer for results to be returned, so if the team told you it would take two weeks, it might be helpful to leave it a few more days before getting in touch to see if there is any news. 

    We know that for many people this period of uncertainty can be difficult. If it would help to chat things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    I hope you have some reassuring news soon. 

    Best wishes,
