Worried

Hi Phoebe98

I’m not surprised that you’re worried. That sounds like an awfully long time to keep you waiting for biopsy results. Have you tried phoning and asking about them? My one piece of advice at this stage would be to make sure you bring someone along with you to your next appointment. Easier said than done, but try not to worry about what might be. Best wishes to you

Hi, thank you for your response! I tried ringing the GP yesterday but they’ve not had anything with my results come through to them. I thought it was a long time too, and this appointment with the specialist took me completely by surprise. 
My boyfriend is going to be coming with me so I’ll have someone there. 

Hi Phoebe98

The time it took is not a too long wait at the moment due to the pressures on the service and the frequent strikes etc, mine was about that time even prior to the present problems, depending on those results unfortunately you will be having many more tests and meetings, at present our local area the scan results are taking the longest time, I am on 4 monthly scan check ups and sometimes the results are taking about 6 weeks. Hang on in there and make sure you start writing down all your questions as when you start this journey (if you have to ) then please do write down all your questions and problems before any meetings with the Team. You should also understand that as you have been referred to the Cancer Team your GP will not be your point of contact, depending on the next steps your Oncology/Consultants and Nurses will be your support network, and, of course all of us on the Forum

Hope all goes well for you at the results meeting and make sure you all take care and know we are also here if you need support
