3 weeks today and no results from biopsy

Hello all,

I had a rather large lump on my neck that had to be removed 3 weeks ago. 

I was told I would have the results of the biopsy in two weeks at the longest but so far I have heard nothing.

does anyone know if this is normal? And is there a Nhs contact number I can phone to find out how it’s proccessing ? Also does longer waiting times mean the results are in favour of being good or bad?

I had been getting many symptoms the coming months before hand, feeling very tired and fatigued and started to panic a bit about it, so I’m getting a bit anxious about the time it’s taking. 

 

Thank you

    Hi Caravan,

    I waited 6 weeks for my biopsy results (removed via hemithyroidectomy)and was told the results face to face on 20th last week,I understand the nerves and frustrations you are feeling but these things take time ,good luck

    Hi Carl, 

     

    Thank you for responding.

    Yeah I wasn’t defiantly expecting my results much sooner and never knew others had to wait so long until I did a bit of research on old forums. Christmas period can’t help either! 

    Anyway hopefully I won’t have too much longer, 3 weeks already past so won’t be too bad I suppose.

     

    thanks again
