Hi there I had hysteroscopy done under GA for post menopausal bleeding, cyst on cervix, thickening & adenomyosis ( which doc said don't worry about)
That was the 1st of March. Consultant said it could be up to 6 weeks before I hear anything back... I'm under NHS not private .... In the interim I found a lump on my breast & gp checked an am on fastrack for imaging etc.
My question is how long did you wait for biopsy results for womb & cervix via NHS & how long for breast biopsy via NHS.
I have called gyny ward where hysteroscopy was done & they said they will try & get consultant to call me. I also asked nurse on here & she said it can take a while.
If anyone can comment that would be great on how long it took for womb cervical biopsies to come back versus breast biopsy.
Thanks X

Hi there, I was diagnosed with a small polyp by hystoscapthy, this was removed again by hystoscapthy around 4 weeks later, I was told I'd get the results in around 6 weeks by post. I then received a letter about 10 days after with another appointment with a different consultant, I tried to change this appointment as I Had something else on that day, but they talked me out of it saying the appointment was urgent it was grade 1 cancer, a total shock.
Thanks Barb good to know XX I'm near Oxford so south east XX Thinking of you.
