How long does it take for biopsy results after Hysterectomy

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can give me some indication how long it takes for Biopsy result to come back after a full abdominal hysterectomy. I was told that it would take ten days. I am now 19 days post op and my consultant has advised they are still not ready. I am feeling rather anxious and stressed and would just like to know if anyone else can advise how long they have waited for their results . Thank you very much. JH 

  • Hi JH I had total hysterectomy November last year and got my biopsy results just over 2 weeks later Hope you are getting on ok after op expect you have had a few ouch moments !! lol I did Fingers crossed for you that your results come back clear 

  • Hello Karina, thank you for your response, it is very much appreciated. It will be three weeks tomorrow since the Operation so hopefully I'll get to find out soon. I am quite a laid back person however I have been waiting for several months for the operation and this has been hanging over me for quite sometime now. Yes I have experienced some ouch moments  but seem to be making a little progress every day. How are you feeling 8 months post op ? Best Regards.

     

  • Hi JH I expect you just want to put it all behind you and get on with life! I am now getting back to normality I still have a few twinges of pain occasionally I think it takes a long time for everything to settle down I am now trying to get the weight off that I gained (wish now I hadn’t eaten so much comfort food whilst recovering ! Lol) but it has amazed me how quickly the scar has healed Unfortunately my biopsy came back stage 1 clear cell ovarian cancer so I had to have course of chemo as a preventative measure so lost my hair too so have had a fair bit to deal with I am just grateful that it was diagnosed at early stage & treated Hope you don’t have to wait much longer for results as said previously keeping fingers crossed for you 

     

     

  • Hi Karina, I was so sorry to learn that you had stage 1 clear cell ovarian cancer, thankfully it was caught at an early stage and treated . As if you hadn't got enough to contend with having had the Hysterectomy. Gosh you really have had a hard time recently havnt you.  I hope you continue to improve and feel well. Thank you for your kind wishes and I will let you know how I get on. Thank you . JH .

  • Thanks JH you too

    Yes do let me know how you get on

    in the meantime keep doing the pelvic floor exercises !! Lol 

    Regards K

  • Thank you Karina for the advice re pelvic floor exercises. I must get into a routine of doing these every day and tomorrow I am going to try and walk half a mile although I feel I should be walking more at 3 weeks post op. Take care Karina .

  • I had my op hysterectomy bso in june got results in july 4 weeks later so try not to worry 

  • Good morning Karina, I just wanted to let you know that I have finally received my results (4 weeks after the Hysterectomy )The tumours were confirmed as benign fibroids . There was no evidence of cancerous cells . I am so relieved and feel very lucky and blessed. Thank you very much for your support over the last couple of weeks.Jh xx
