biposy results- time scale

Hi all. I havent been on here for a while.I had rectal cancer over 7 years ago and underwent radio/ chemo and APR surgery. I've had lots of bladder operations since so when i had a tiny bit of bleeding the other day i wasnt too worried but i mentioned it to the doctor when i was there for something else. To cut a long story short, what i thouhgt would have been pretty routine at the hosptial appointment , i left being told i had so many polyps in my womb, my womb prolapsing and my bladder looking 'strange'. the consultant was lovley - too nice really as she patted my arm gave me her secertarys number and the number/ email of the oncology nurse! Must admit i was in shock and didnt ask many questions when she talked about operations/ radio and chemo. that was last Wednesday so i have been in limbo ever since. After all that rambling what i really want to ask is How long will it take for the biopsy results to come back? the consultant said she would phone me . thank you for reading this 

  • Hello rose999 and welcome to our forum.

    I can appreciate that this waiting game must be worrying for you but unfortunately, we cannot tell how long it will take for the results of your biopsy to be back.

    However, if you feel that speaking to someone medically trained in the meantime may help, our cancer nurses are available on this number 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday, between 9 a.m - 5 p.m.

    Best wishes,
