Hello everyone - just wondering what people’s experiences of waiting for sentinel lymph node biopsy times has been? I had left breast mastectomy 2 weeks past on Monday, was due to see consultant last Thurs but results not in, rebooked for today - just had a call to say results still not in and now rebooked for next Thurs - is 3-4 weeks normal wait time? Just really frustrated & upset as anxiety through the roof past week waiting and now facing another week

Most of my results are about 3 weeks but then depends of which day of the week you team having the weekly meeting to discuss it first. One time I waited 6 weeks and the was torture so hoping you are waiting much longer!

Mine were 2-3 weeks, but never get to know until it has been to MDT first. Luckily MDT is on a Tuesday and the clinic a wednesday.

Thanks everyone, it’s not good to hear you all had to wait but helpful to know my wait is not unusual xx I’ve stopped crying now & picking myself up to focus on ongoing recovery from my mastectomy & get biopsy redults - hopefully- next week thank u, such a supportive forum xxx
