After having a double mastectomy 7wks ago I had to go back 3 wks ago for lymph node clearance and a CT scan.

We were told during a wound check a week ago that the CT was clear, we weren’t expecting any news that day so it came as a shock and we didn’t ask anymore.
We were due results from the node clearance on the 16/8 that was pushed back to today because the results weren’t in, todays appointment was then cancelled, again because of no results. I now haven’t been given another date!
The consultant who was due to see me called and explained that the hospital has changed labs and there is a backup, a complaint has been made on my behalf .

I’m struggling with this. Feel like my life is on hold with no plan!
I plan on ringing the hospital on Monday, I keep thinking my results are lost.....

PALS at the hospital may be able to assist. Don't worry that your results are lost. Hospitals often have backlogs and so do labs.

Hi Kazaa, so frustrating for you, I’d be concerned too but I’m sure they’re not lost, many ladies have been reporting long delays for their results on here recently, there seems to be some big backlogs in certain areas, really hope yours come through soon, waiting for the results is so incredibly stressful xx
