Hi I’m new to group, have a question, I had my surgery on the 18th February to remove 3/4 of my large bowel due to tumour, doctors said results should be back roughly in 2 weeks, however still waiting over 3 weeks, is this normal ? 

  • Hi Elvis.

    I waited 5 months for my results. Don't wait like I did. Call in and ask. Best wishes. 

  • Hi Corporal, thanks for reply, I will be ringing them tomorrow for an update, regards 

  • Hi Elvis

    I totally agree with Corporal J. Results should be in after 2 weeks of surgery and shared with you within just a few days from then.

    A slight delay (upto a werk) can happen if your hospital's MDT meetings (usually just once per week) fall a day before your pathology results are in.

    Definitely recommend contacting your colorectal nurse team to chase and get timeline.

    Good luck and hope results are as your expecting.
