Waiting for results but biopsy sent to another hospital?

Hi there just wondered if anytime else had experience of biopsies being sent to another hospital for 'further review' . Mine were sent on Monday and could be another 2 weeks before I get my results and the waiting is driving me mad.

mine is a 3cm lump on left supraclavacular lymph node and Every thing I've read about that particular place is not good. I just want to know, my ultrasound report is there ready and waiting, why won't they at least tell me that? 
 

thanks in advance 

  • Hi again Birdie8,

    Sometimes biopsies are sent to another hospital for a second opinion or to to provide further information.

    The biopsy will be giving additional information to the ultrasound - the ultrasound results may not be conclusive enough and/or they may wish to give you all the information at once.

    I hope it's not too much longer to wait for you.

    All the best,

  • Hi so I have a bit of an update in that I have to now have an open biopsy because the results are inconclusive but they do suspect lymphoma from the ultrasound and I initial biopsy.

    im having it under general as they might also need samples from my tonsils and adenoids too as they are part of lymphatic system. So I feel a bit better that we are on to the next stage as this is what we always suspected, especially as it has grown over the last 3 weeks,just hoping it will happen next week and things will move quickly
