Bri this is very sad and really makes me cross. So many accounts now of people who are having to push for testing and then chase up results. Quangos that focus on reportable statistics only, political cherry picking to make members from all parties look like they care. In the meantime real issues where dramatic improvements could be made that actually save lives go under the radar.
I have a friend in a similar position who , despite being on the cancer fast track and having biopsy done within the two week limit(just) has been told that results will take at least 6 weeks (in her area biopsy analysis is outsourced) it's impossible to contact the laboratory directly so she has to rely on the integrity and perseverance of an over worked NHS secretary who looks after at least 4 consultants to chase up results. If you can afford it or have Private cover this whole process takes 3 days maximum.
I hope your friend gets all the medical attention he needs as quickly as possible.
