Hi I hope someone can help. I've had biopsy on my neck on lymph node. They said results within 2 weeks. It's now been 7 weeks and still haven't any results I've called a couple of time recently and getting that the samples have been sent and nothing else. I'm not coping all that well I'm trying to stay positive the waiting is horrendous. The whole testing not just biopsy of blood test all together have been 7 months of waiting and still none the wiser. Has anyone else had similar?
You will be fine. My pain threshold is not great. It was not the pain the pressure was uncomfortable And as mine was right next to jugular and was in awkward place to get and needed another radiologist have a go. Fingers crossed for you. You out hospital as soon as had done took mine 3 weeks to heal as they needed to open a bit more than just needle and had 4 stitches after.
Hi how did you get in with your biopsy did it go ok?
