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!

    having been in your position I have waited a month for my biopsy results and they were good. It's never really certain to why they're making you wait so long and sometimes it gets really annoying.

    the hospital should give you an nurse that looks after all your needs and you should contact them.

    if not you should contact the ward you stayed on during the removal surgery.

    its literally the worst wait I know but it's usually good in the end.

    They diagnosed me without doing a biopsy and got I had two unseeded surgeries.

    its good that they biopsied you first as you will get to treatment quicker.

    its been around a week now so I'm hoping you got a response.

    its also around Christmas and news years isn't it so maybe that's delaying it slightly.

    but as I said just contact the nurse or the ward you were staying on.

    best wishes x
