I had a Colonoscopy  on the 11th of May 5 biopsy's were taken and were put through as urgent. 

It has now been 4 weeks and I still havent recieved any results, I have tried calling the secretary and have left messages but had no response. 

I'm only 21 so I am hopeful its nothing serious, however I still wanted feedback on my results. 

has anyone else ever waited this long for urgent biopsy results? and is no news considered good news? 

any responses will be appreciated 

thank you

  • Hi Beth and welcome to the online community

    Waiting for the results of biopsies is always stressful no matter how long you have to wait.

    As I don't know what the normal wait after a colonoscopy is could I point you in the direction of the very knowledgeable people over in the bowel cancer group. This isn't because I think you have cancer but because they will be able to tell you how long on average you have to wait for results.

    To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then post your question by selecting 'start a discussion'.

    Wishing you all the best
