Hello All, I was told after my second TURBT that I  would have an appointment for results within three weeks but its over three weeks now and I’m still waiting. My initial diagnosis in January was T1G3 so as many of you know the waiting  it is an anxious time to find out if the staging has changed.  know how busy the service is so I have been reluctant to bother them with phone calls and  instead trust that I am in the system and haven’t been forgotten and that they will contact me when they are ready.. Is it usual to wait more than three weeks for results and could the delay mean something, positive or otherwise? 
Thanks

  • I had a biopsy taken in August one year and it wasn't until the end of the October when I had a routine meeting with a consultant to find out the results, then I had to ask. I always hope no news is good news.

  • Frank123,

    I strongly suggest that you contact either the Urology or Cancer specialist nurse assigned to you, or the consultants secretary to try and move things along. I think I waited 37 days for the results of my first histology, and for the second it was about 2 weeks.

    I am sure the results will be with you soon, however I would give them a polite but firm prod.

    cheers,
