Well No breast biopsy results have come through the letterbox 

I’m still waiting to receive them as promised ! Appt is 23rd August apparently so that will be almost 7 weeks I have had to wait for results that I was promised I would receive via telephone so I am chasing up the PALS team again today 

  • @Flipflop59 that is totally unacceptable.  Definitely a case for PALS. Good luck xx

    Onwards and flatwards (don't do hills) and keep walking if you can!

  • Hi, have you had any news yet. I have just received an appointment for my results via a telephone call. Is this how results are given now.  Best wishes on your results xx

    Hi, all my results have been face to face and all within 10 days of procedure 

  • Hi, unsure why my results are arranged as a call at the moment. Hope your results went well  Best Wishes xx

  • Hi Shaz52, it could be because covid cases are rising so much. A lot of my appointments were calls, including my original biopsy results - I was told I definitely had cancer over the phone but I actually found that better as I had my husband there, who couldn't come to any face to face appointments. I ended up getting frustrated if I had a face to face and it wasn't necessary - i.e. could have easily been done over the phone, as I found travelling to hospital a bit of a waste of time when I was working full time!

    As long as you're OK about the calls, then I wouldn't worry too much about why some are telephone.

  • It seems to be different everywhere.  The hospital I’m under has allowed my husband into every appointment.  The only time he wasn’t allowed was when I was an inpatient.  I drove myself to & from my radiotherapy.  He did annoy me when he asked why I was getting stressed waiting to see the oncologist!

  • So pleased you have had your results, hope all went well. 5 1/2 weeks I have waited for results. How did your results go xx
