Hello so just a quick update. 

Thanks for everyone’s replies.

i still haven’t received my results since my biopsy from the lump on my neck, which was removed on the 2nd of December. I phoned in today and was told that they had my results and they were processed just yesterday but the person on the phone said they couldn’t tell me my results by telephone and that I would be expected to receive them by mail on Monday. 

So I have a few questions to ask that I’m hoping some of you might know about. 

Is it still possible to get results over telephone if they are good results? and is it possible to receive a cancer diagnosis by mail? or for myself to receive information in regards that I should come in to speak to doctor about my biopsy? 

 Sorry these questions might be a bit far fetched but it will be about 7 weeks I’ve had to wait by the time I get close to my answers. 

Thanks 

Hi Caravan

I dont blame you for being anxious who wouldnt be?

I know any tests biopsies etc were always face to face with consultant.

I do know that negative breast biopsies can be delivered by mail. I dont think its procedure in Scotland to give any results good or bad over the phone,so I dont think you will get anywhere on phone.

I think you do have reason to be optomistic though. There is a timeline they must follow for cancer positive biopsy results generally 14days I am sure. So the time you have waited should make you feel a bit more positive.

I am keeping fingers crossed for you do let us know how it goes. xx

Hi I've been reading this thread as you can probably guess I'm waiting and worried too.
