Waiting for results

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.

  • Hi

    14-21 days is about normal for biopsies....waiting is torture.

    MRI was after biopsy

    My first one was inconclusive...had to do it all again.

    Stay off Dr Google....try to keep busy

    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
