Biopsy

Best of luck for tomorrow. Generally find consultants wouldn't say they think things will be OK if they have doubts in their mind about it, so I'd take a lot of comfort from that.

In my own scenario I didn't even know I was going in for a biopsy. Was only going in because I'd been spitting up some blood and had discovered a lump in my neck - think it was only the fact I was so overweight at the time that I hadn't noticed it ! 

Far from telling me they thought I was OK, the consultant at the hospital was very upfront, wanted me to get biopsy done on my tonsils there and then - a very bizarre experience basically sitting up on an office chair and watching her go in with the equipment! - and she told me there and then there was a very good chance it was cancer. Sadly she was correct.

The procedure itself wasn't particularly painful but it will absolutely be worth it to give you some peace of mind when it hopefully proves the consultant's initial thoughts turn out to be correct.

Thank you for that it has made me feel a little better he kept saying when i for upset donot worry it dosnt look suspicious i guess they have a rought idea when they go in with the camera 

That's great that it has been brought forward - hopefully it will put your mind at rest sooner. Good luck! 

Thanks

Hi they brought my biopsy forward to tommrow

That’s good. 
Ask all the questions you’ve asked here. Make a list and stick to it. Don’t go home without them all ticked off and given explanations you understand. 
Access to your reports online is a double edged sword unless you are medically qualified. Poor you! 

I cant see my results online 

Sorry my mistake. I thought that’s where you were looking at them. The NHS portal allows you to. 

I’m in Wales. There is limited access to your online portal. Patients know best is what it’s called. Reports aren’t released there until they have been discussed with the patient and similarly patients aren’t copied into the GP notes until they have 

This is good news , this time tomorrow it will all be done, so i wish you all the best for tomorrow and for your results, you consultant seems pretty sure its nothing to worry about which is a bonus .
