Hi
I had a lobectomy nearly 11 weeks ago. Had an appointment 6 weeks later for results of blood tests and pathology report on my thyroid. On tablets for low levels but he didn't have the results of pathology, said they had to send it to Swansea for a second opinion.
He said not to worry, to be in all fairness, I was ok about that, but nearly 5 weeks later, they still haven't got back to me. I rang on week 8, the secretary got back to me, saying they haven't come back yet and now I am on week 11, no news. I've made numerous phone calls, just to get some feedback but not one call back. Which to be honest is quite frustrating as the lady told me she would ring me as soon as I rang her.
I was just wondering if anyone else has had the same wait for their results and the same with no one ringing back with any sort of feedback? Originally the original biopsy came back hurthle cell neoplasm. Thank you for any feedback
Hello Bonesy
I hope you do not mind me replying as I had a different kind of cancer to you but I do remember the waiting for results. It was tough and I had to chase them several times. It must be really frustrating to be waiting 11 weeks and still not knowing.
One thing I did that helped move things along was to do an Online Consultation with my GP. He was able to look at my records and reports from the hospital and was able to contact the consultant directly. Some results had been sent directly to my GP via the internal NHS system, that had not yet been sent to me. My GP was able to chase things up and get me an appointment the following day with the consultant.
It may be worth doing this, particularly as it has been so long and that Swansea is also now involved.
Hopefully someone who has had a similar procedure will now see you post and respond but I do recommend contacting your GP to get things moving.
Good Luck
Jane
I hope you get some good results soon and fingers crossed for you.
