A hand to hold….

Hi and welcome.  I had cancer of the tongue so slightly different to you but there are other people on the group that have the same diagnoses as you.  Feel free to shout out if you need anything.  It may be worthwhile putting some information in your profile as matters progress.  Best wishes

Thank you so much, Mick x 

the waiting is the worst, I feel like when you know what is next & have a plan, it’s better for your head? But for now, I will lean on you guys if that’s ok?

You are right the waiting is pants but trying to keep busy should help.  This is  really friendly. group so feel free to reach out.  What made you choose your user name?

Ha! They say dog is a man’s best friend, but give me a dog any day, she is my soul mate x I think she knows how & when to step up x 

I’m usually a great sleeper regardless of what life throws at me (and it’s thrown some s***) but early mornings seem to be my new thing x

Animals are family too forum is another group on Macmillan that you might want to join.  

Waiting is pants! Take the opportunity to get yourself sorted and keep busy.  The results will be back before you know it. 

How long do these type of results usually take??? I’ve read so many different things about how long people have waited

Biopsiy results are usually available to the consultant who ordered them in two weeks. It varies a little and allowance has to be made for weekends on top of that. If any further treatment is necessary this result has to be discussed by the relevant multidisciplinary team before you are called back to discuss. MDTs usually meet once a week where the specialists discuss all the patients in their care. So you are looking at two to four weeks

When was the biopsy taken?
