Waiting for biopsy results

Hi, I am not new to cancer forums, as I previously had breast cancer. I am currently waiting for uterine biopsy results. I had my biopsy done 2 weeks ago and hadn't heard anything. I rang my local gynae dept today and was asked to speak to consultant's secretary, who initially said the results were not back, but then told me they were, but not been reported on and consultant will write with results and next step of the process. Tried not to panic, but should I be worrying like I am?  Secretaries have always told me my results have been ok in the past, had a couple of these before. Not sure how to take this? Anyone had similar? If so, what was the outcome?

Many thanks.

  • Hello Kanick, 

    Welcome to our forum! You did well to chase this after not hearing back from them after two weeks. Try not to draw any conclusions though from the fact that the results have not been reported on the system yet and that you don't know yet what the next steps of the process might be. There may have been delays or other possible explanations for this. I know it's really hard and it is normal to worry in your situation, but try to take your mind off this for now by keeping busy and distracted and avoid looking anything up online as this will only make you feel more confused and anxious about everything. 

    I hope you will hear from others on the forum who have had this happen to them before and that they will be along shortly to share their experience with you. 

    Everything crossed for you for good results! 

    Best wishes,

  • Thank you. I am keeping busy. I am working and when I am not working, I've been concentrating on jobs in the house, but my mind wanders. I am going into my third week now, I left a message for my consultant's secretary to call me back, just so as I can ascertain when I may receive some news. I've had breast cancer before, so you can imagine my concern.

    Many thanks x
