I had a robotic laparoscopic hysterectomy 8 days ago for stage 3 cancer and I understand that sentinel nodes have been sent for biopsy. Any ideas about how long they take to come back? I’m feeling great but being careful but was told to self isolate in case I needed to go back in.Feels like I’ve been in lock down forever.
Hi . Hope you're still making good steady progress since your op. How are you coping with the anti-clotting jabs?
Usually histology results take between two to three weeks and the wait is agonising! Unfortunately it's one of those things you can't hurry them up on. They'll be in contact soon.
Sending hugs, Barb xx
