Hello all. I’m new to the group.
I write to share an experience and seek some feedback on whether this is normal.
My wife had a colonoscopy and there is concern about a growth being possibly cancerous. They sent a biopsy for urgent review and said it would be 2-3 weeks. A hellish wait ensued. This became 4 weeks then 5. Now over 5 weeks the results are back but don’t know what they are as we are now waiting for the consultant to review them.
This feel like torture! The consultant goes on a 2 week holiday soon. Neither my wife or can can sleep with worry.
Is this normal? Should I be concerned? Should we be complaining?
