Suspicious patches

Recently had a flexible cystoscopy and been told I have 2 'suscpious ' patches on bladder wall. I have been referred for another cystoscopy and biopsy under general anaesthetic and told it would be in approx 4-6 weeks(covid allowing). Howver, just received a hospital appt to see a consultant on 25th Feb 2021 with no mention of the biopsy being done. Are these type of appts made in advance pre- empting that the biopsy would have been done by then. Is it normal to wait 3 months before a biopsy?

  • Hello Moomin53

    I'm sorry to hear that you're waiting on some further investigations at the moment. From the posts I've read here on the forum it doesn't seem common practice to arrange appointments for biopsy results that far in advance especially as you've not had the biopsy as yet. However with the current Covid19 situation things have changed a bit. 

    I'd suggest giving the Consultant's secretary or clinic booking centre a call as they should be able to clarify things. 

    I do hope that you have some news soon. 

    Best wishes,
