Hi Emwell, my husband has cancer and we basically were called in early to get the biopsy results so that treatment could start as soon as possible.  So to leave you hanging on until November would indicate that they just want to discuss the outcome then keep a check on you for future check ups.  At the moment we have telephone appointments with the oncologist so if it was serious they would contact you regardless of the outcome, so no they are not leaving it because they don't want to give you bad news over the phone.  We have marvellous nurses on this website so call them on Monday to put your mind at rest, or call your GP and ask them if the results have come through and can they help.  Try not too worry as it makes you feel really unwell and you can't alter the outcome in any way by fretting.  Good luck, Carol 

Hi Emwell

My punch biopsy results were delivered in a face to face appointment a week after the biopsies. You would absolutely not be left to wait until November if it were something concerning, even in Covid times. It may be that you need some further treatment, but there is no urgency, so please be reassured that nothing serious is going on. 

Thank you for taking the time to reply, I'm sorry to hear about your own result to have experience here 

I appreciate the assurance and of course it does make sense, always preferable to hear from people with experience. It has helped me

Thank you 

Thanks for your reply, sorry to hear of your husband's result, sharing your experience has been really helpful so I appreciate that you've taken the time to share, it's been helpful in settling my head. What a scary experience all round 

Thank you again
