Hi Linda, thanks for replying. I eventually managed to speak to my GP who said around 2 weeks is normal to wait for the biopsy results. The Dr who did the biopsy said days, so when it got to 9 days I was getting frantic. Now I'm calmer and trying to fill my time with things to take my mind off it, ha! Planning to do good things over the next few days, till I get results, to help get through them. Hope you got your results ok and you can now start to look forwards.
Whatever lies ahead I intend to do it smiling, hope I can, good intentions and all that, got to be positive. Hi Liz, thanks for replying, it's good to know there are people out there who understand and care. I'm feeling a bit better as eventually got to speak to my GP who said 2 weeks is about normal to wait for biopsy results.
Still haven't told my family, the thought of upsetting them is on my mind as much as waiting for the results! Anyway I'm hoping to find out this week and am trying to be as positive as I can, thanks again, June x. I'm staggered to see that results are sometimes possible in terms of days. I find it impossible to contact anyone to talk to about my concerns, even when the 'phones are actually answered. My last procedue was 29th January and I have an appointment with the surgeon on 3rd June.
What's that - 18 weeks! I thought there was a two week rule with cancer. I know of the 18 week rule but that is from the time a consultant gets a GP referral letter to the first definitive treatment so I just don't understand why all the waiting. Although it has been 3 years since diagnosis, I remember them telling me that there was a 2 week wait to see the consultant and biopsy, and then a further two weeks to get results, as they have to meet with a team of doctors to discuss treatment.
I found the breast care nurses very helpful as they should be able to tell you the expected dates etc. Hope this helps. I had a biopsy Friday 15 April for a large type freckle which developed a year ago but then changed to a blister looking thing.. My appointment was just to see consultant on that day, which had been less than 2 week referal time from seeing GP.
The consultant said she would prefer to do biopsy straight away, which I was relieved about. She thinks it is very characteristic of Basal Cell Carcinoma. I was told it could be several weeks for biopsy result for this but was pleased with the initial short time of seeing someone Would be nice to keep the momentum going as time is of the essence. Hi guys. I found a lump 3months ago, it became very big, so I decided to go to my gp last month.
