Hi all. I’m now 9 weeks 1 day 4 hours post op. ( not that I’m counting ) As you will see from my profile Got my post op path results next Thursday and wondered how long these meeting usually take and how detailed they go into it. I’ll be glad to finally know but in a way I’m happy in ignorant bliss at the minute. I suppose this is going to be the way going forward with 3 monthly checks . With my stats I’d be happy with a good meeting next week and see what the future holds. Anyone had these thoughts. Hopefully I’ll still be worrying in 5 years time. ! Cheers all. Great forum. Simon
Usually the discussion after a procedure is longer than others because they need to explain everything.
In my case if was about 20 minutes, but that was probably because I had radiotherapy rather than surgery.
You will need more time because they will want to explain the histology and the full meaning of the results.
There will be something that discusses how the procedure, and then explain them to you.
There will be a what's your name, and date of birth so that they know you are who they think you should, and questioning the effect of the person you had.
Then they will give you the verdict. After that it's staging the next appointment. You will get used to it.
