Hi,
I recently had an emergency right hemicolectomy 4 weeks ago for a contained perforation and suspicious mass. My recovery is going well post op but I'm still waiting for my histology results which were fastracked, but nothings back yet and I'm going out of my mind with worry. Has anyone else had a similar wait?
Good morning, Starburst47.
I am Jamie one of the online champions. I see you have not had a reply to your question yet.
I am sorry to hear you are still waiting for your results and I understand this is causing you a lot of worry and anxiety. It's often the waiting for these results which causes many of us anxiety.
I would like to suggest to call your medical team and speak with your surgeon's secretary. They cant give you the results but they can give you some idea on what is happening, or at least may have another contact for you to try and speak to.
Do you have a number for the bowel nurse specialist based at the hospital, they might be able to offer you some support and potentially give you some time frames and when the appointment might be to discuss these results.
I am pleased to hear you are recovering well. Please let us know if you need anything else.
Take care,
Jamie
