biopsy results

hi i 10 biopsy taken from my bowel about 4 weeks ago. they told me it would only take 2-3 weeks for my results to come back. i still havent had any results i have been phoning the doctors for the results but they keep saying they havent recieved them yet. is this common to take this long.

  • Hi cheftony,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. Time to receive results can vary, although it sounds like you've been waiting quite a while now.

    One other option could be to phone the hospital rather than your GP to see if they have any different updates.

    Other than that, I hope you don't have too much longer to wait.

    WIshing you all the best,
