Hello everyone, I hope you are well.
On the 24th of Jan I had a biopsy, and I had an MRI on 28th. I was told in my ENT appointment that started this that there would be a follow up in a 3 week appointment. How likely is it that they would have contacted me earlier if they had seen something concerning? I was told by the nurse who took my bloods that they would discuss in the MDT that Wednesday (the day after MRI) but I was thinking if results aren't available by that one, then maybe this one.
Apologies, I am spiraling a little bit.

Not usually likely. 2/3 weeks for biopsy then MDT then your appointment. I had an MRI first followed by a biopsy with a consult to discuss three weeks after the biopsy.
Good luck
Dani
