It’s now five weeks since I had my biopsy and still no results. Is it normal to wait this long? While I am optimistic it is still obviously a very worrying time. I am plodding on every day but finding it hard to make any plans for the near future just in case they are thwarted. I don’t really want to tell anyone so it’s difficult to explain why I may not be able to accept upcoming events and invitations. I feel as if my life is on hold until I get my results. I have days when I am my usual ‘bouncy’ self, then other days when I just want to be alone. I suppose in hindsight this is normal, however, I do wish I could tell someone, last week I was accused of being anti social because I didn’t feel like meeting and going for lunch. I am afraid I lost my temper a bit with my reply.
Hi pollypa8,
I’m sorry to hear your biopsy results are taking a long time, I can only imagine how difficult this must be.
I think timeframes vary a lot depending on the hospital/consultant. Do you have a specialist nurse? If so perhaps they may be able to help you.
I too chose not to tell anyone, so I can completely empathise with how difficult it is with not being able to make plans. I really struggled with what to say when friends asked me to make plans with them.
I hope you get your results real soon, please do keep us posted.
