Biopsy time

Hi all.  I am due for a biopsy on Friday. How long does it usually take to get the results.

Hi mate.

Our site says about a fortnight, but it varies.

'It can take up to two weeks to get the results of the biopsy, but it can take longer in some hospitals. Ask your doctor or nurse when you're likely to get the results.'

A recent poster was advised that theirs may take up to two months which seems very excessive to me.

Good luck with your Biopsy Simon, most people seem to find it just a little uncomfortable and some find it embarrassing, but it’s nothing to get worked up about and I’m sure the nurses will look after you well.

Waiting for results is always the worst part, just keep yourself active and busy and be kind to yourself.

all the best,

Derek

Time taken for results will vary,  but make sure you ask them how long and hiw you will be contacted.

I was told it would be within two weeks and that I'd be informed as soon as they knew anything by telephone. 

Three weeks later I was in bits and rang them, which seriously pixxed off the medical secretary as I was interrupting her system. She told me I'd been discharged with no further explanation. 

Not the best way to impart such good news.

Best of luck with the procedure.
