Advice needed please

Hi there sorry for everyone who's suffering with cancer and there family's, I just wanted a bit of advise, I'm waiting on biophys results from my stomach, I had a endoscopy on the 23rd July that's when they took biophys, I was just wondering is there anyone on here who's just been diagnosed with stomach cancer? How long did it take from first appointment with consultant to they telling you results, its been 2 weeks and 1 week waiting on biophys results can I relax noing no cancer or is it to early any advise appreciated 

  • Hi Elliemayxx,

    Timescales can vary a lot depending on each person and also where you're based and the hospital you're visiting. Try not read anything into the waiting time for results - it's always best not to assume anything one way or the other.

    It's of course natural to feel worried until you know more, but just try to keep yourself as busy as possible until you find out your results to try to distract you.

    If you haven't received results within 2 weeks, you could try to call to find out when it is likely to be.

    Wishing you all the best,
