Biopsy results wait

Hi Lookingafterno1

Welcome to the Womb group.

The waiting is tough and I remember it well. Its hard to focus on much else.

My biopsy results took around a week to come back and I was phoned by a nurse (as arranged previously) I did have the option of going in for an appointment but preferred to have them via phone call.

I hope you do not have to wait too long. In the meantime we are here if you need us.

When I had My biopsy I was told 6 weeks but in reality it was only 3 weeks before I was told ai had cancer. If it comes back you do you will be overwhelmed at first as there is so much to take in. I found everyone extremely helpful and had time to answer all the questions I had. I think once you know and have a plan you will cope far better than you anticipated. Also you have this forum that I find really helpful.

Thank you Jane, that is useful. I would want mine on the phone also, easier to process at home.

 I hope you are doing well now

Jane you are so good at helping everyone on here - I for one appreciate your advice. It nice speaking to someone who has been there and done ii or if you haven't redirect us to where we need to be-Thank you x

Hi Ronny,

Thank you for sharing your timeframe and I am sorry about your diagnoses. Did they say they expected cancer at the time of your biopsy /hysteroscopy? 

The gynae did not like the look of the thickness of my womb so I am guessing she was pretty concerned. 

No they thought although I had a thickened lining of the womb everything looked fine so it was quite a shock for me.

Oh goodness. So sorry. I hope your treatment is going well x 

I was told 4 to 6 weeks, about 10 days after biopsy when I was trying to find out how long to wait, and then 3 days later quick call to come in.  For me they have refused to tell me stuff over the phone, and the nurses won’t tell me the results. I had a conversation afterwards with the nurse about why couldn’t they tell me over the phone, and reasons why I would have preferred this and got nowhere! Just highlighting as I had this conversation retrospectively, so you might want to say in advance you would like results over the phone.
