Oh that must be so frustrating! I had three as well.

Maybe you could ask your gp to get on the case as well

Good luck!

Just reading your post on waiting time for your biopsy results.... doesn’t fill me with joy I had 3 samples taken a week ago and was told 3 weeks , I’m not coping at all waiting sleepless nights crying it’s scary

Hi Suzy,

Welcome to the forum.

It is never easy waiting for the results of tests and three weeks will seem like a lifetime. Unfortunately, it is what it is and the best thing to make the time pass is to keep yourself busy.

Your emotional state is perfectly normal. Most of us find ourself crying buckets for no particular reason. There are so many unknowns at the moment that your mind goes into overdrive and, all the nasty little 'what ifs' creep in during the early hours of the morning. This will all gradually settle down once you know exactly what you are dealing with and start to move on.

Do please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Still hoping for good results in 2 weeks time.

Kind regards,

Hi Suzy

Welcome to the forum

I know it’s easier said than done but do try not to worry. The not knowing is the worst. I drove myself insane with worry!

you have come to the right place-everyone is so knowledgeable and friendly. 

What I can advise is the same as Jolamine-try and keep busy. Take it one day at a time. Get today out of the way and deal with tomorrow when it comes. I can also advise to stay off google-it will only add to your worries! If you’re ever in need of a chat then do come to this forum!

I wish you the best with your results. Here if you need a chat and do keep us updated xxx

Hi guys

thank you for your replies to my worries.

luckily I’m very busy at work which I feel is the best place to be right now,, it certainly is a long wait but like you all say just get through today.

im just worried about these random meltdowns I’m waking up with

great to know there are people out there going through this too and I’m not being the dramatic one, I’m normally really tough

suzy

Hi Suzy,

You are definitely not being at all unusual with your meltdowns. As I said previously, most of us have them and they will eventually settle down as you find out more about your diagnosis.

Kind regards,

Hi I know how you feel, I had biopsies done two weeks ago was told two to three weeks of been two weeks today and I'm going crazy I hope you have had yours now 

hi

i know how you feel I waited 4 weeks for my results, it does get easier I didn’t think it would. I have had my results back and great news the cysts are benign .. hope you get the same results 

good luck 

That's great news, I'm starting to think maybe the old saying is right no news is good news, let's hope so although the consultant said at the very least I needed the duct removed 

Hi all. 
I can see that these are fairly old posts. Though I also wanted to ask how long urgent biopsy results ? Melignant Melanoma should take? 

I had a very quick referral to the dermatology specialist, who strongly suspected my large lesion on my upper back was a MM. She then referred me for an urgent excision and said the results would be around 2 weeks.

Within a week and a bit I then had an urgent excision and they said policy was 3 to 8 weeks, though it was fast tracked , so I should recieve mine quicker. GP said 2 to 3 weeks also. 
 

it's just coming up to 4 weeks since my procedure and following advice, I was told to ring and just ask for an update. 
 I wish I hadn't, as I felt a pain to them for doing so. Only to be told that they hadn't been reported on and they take 8 weeks, do not ring again, as I will be told by letter when they are ready.

This does seem a long time scale for the fast track system and I know they are probably very busy people. Just feeling a little dispondent now. 
 

Many thanks.
