Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place but I kind of in limbo and don't know where my query belongs, also I'm new to here. I'm 53 and have been post meno since my 20's, last year I was having heavy bleeding so was referred to gynaecology for test, my ca125 was in range so no red flags there but a cyst was discovered on my left ovary, about 5cm with papillary projections a septa walls, I was put on watch and wait and told to come off HRT, after stopping HRT my bleeding stopped however my cyst grew so it was decided that I needed a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, (both ovaries and tubes removed), peritoneal washing and a biopsy of my lining whilst I was under which took place 4 weeks ago today. My worry is I still haven't had my results from the cyst biopsy, I was originally told I would hear in 2 weeks but its now going into my 5th week and the longer its going on for the more stressed I am getting, I am assuming that no news is good news but I want to know if I'm ok to have my HRT back as I think I'm turning into a bit of a crank without my oestrogen lol . I phoned my surgeons secretary last week and she told me the results were still being processed so I phoned again yesterday and this time I was told she couldn't see anything on the system for me and would look into it and get someone to call me back, I did get a call back to tell me the results actually arrived at 12.05 yesterday afternoon but nothing can be done yet and I'll hear back after the consultant has looked at them, I'm getting so impatient and stressed by all this. I just want to know what's what so I can put all this behind me, is it normal for them to make you wait so long for answers, what took the results so long to come back from pathology? Am I over thinking? (I can answer the last question myself, YES I am!!!)
Thanks
