Hi Yell, 

According to our information page on pancreas biopsies, you would normally expect to get your results within 1 or 2 weeks but if you are worried about how long it is taking, you are always welcome to ask your doctor or nurse for an estimate as to how long it will take and if you haven’t heard anything after a couple of weeks, feel free to get in touch with the doctor who arranged the biopsy. 

I am not sure how long it will take for you to have a follow up appointment and it might be worth finding out when you get your results what the next steps might be and when you will see a specialist. 

I am keeping everything crossed for you and I know what an anxious time it must be to be waiting for tests and then again for results and while you are waiting, I wanted to share with you our helpful tips on how to cope while waiting for important news. 

It might also help you to get in touch with our cancer nurses on this free number 0808 800 4040 and they might be able to offer you further guidance on this. Their helpline is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

Best wishes,
