So saw the original surgeon who done my bowel resection nearly 10 years ago . He and the MDT checked my recent scan I had  which has a abnormalities on my lungs abdomen and pelvis. They thought it was a small bowel cancer recurrence, but now he’s thinking it’s such a late presentation that it could be a sarcoma. Last Thursday he said he was referring me for a biopsy not heard anything anyone know how long it will take to hear after a referral is made!

  • Usually this would be  2 weeks if cancer is suspected  ,chase it up with the secretary if no word in the 3rd week. I was delayed  for months despite ringing regularly.  Don't wait indefinitely. 

  •  I will thank you. It’s a week today and they do suspend t it’s cancer. So I will give it another week, the waiting is horrendous . I go on holiday 16th September and now made my mind up I still want to go. It’s just down to a caravan in Berwick. I’ve canceled a holiday to Spain we were going end of August for my husbands 70th.

  • Let the secretary know your dates, you can always come home if needed, keep safe xxgoodluck

  • Got a phone call today pre biopsy appointment is the 8th September and the actual biopsy is the 9th. So there will be an appointment made for a discussion regarding the results when I don’t know. And I go away for a week 16th September and I really want to go before I start any treatment.

  • Hi Court, that’s the plan anyway. I think it’s the right thing to do as I don’t know what’s in front of me. My thinking is a weeks not going to make that much difference.
