Breast core needle biopsy

Hello

I had my biopsies 10 days ago. I was told that I would receive my results in 7 to 10 days. I haven't heard from them. No phone call, no letter, no text.

Today was the day 10 so I decided to call my GP. They didn't even know I had the biopsies done and they couldn't see any results or reports.

I called the breast clinic and I was told to call next Tuesday.

Is it 'normal' to wait this long? Can someone share their experiences?

This wait is terrible. I totally understand the pressure on NHS and I'm aware I'm not the only one waiting for results but I feel like all my life was paused on that appointment. 

 

 

  • Hi Jom, 

    This is completely normal, in my experience anyway. My results weren't ready until the 15th day. The results are discussed in a team meeting before given to patients - all cases. Mines turned out to be benign, so don't worry more because they're taking longer. I've been there, done that! 

    I'll be thinking of you, hang in there
