No biopsy results

Hi ! Can someone advise me please ?

it's now four weeks tomorrow and no biopsy results.  I know they had an mdt meeting last Thursday and the secretary couldn't tell me anything as nothing was written up.  She told me to ring back this week which I did several times leaving voicemail message and no phone call back. Now I am a nurse myself I am very much annoyed at the situation now ! They took five samples on the 1 March 2023 I was told within ten days results should be back and someone would phone call me and nothing has happened or a letter but nothing in post. When I ring the breast unit they keep putting me through the Secretary and I am getting no where.  I am now thinking of putting in a complaint due to lack of communication and being informed as to what's happening ... I have called my gp too many times they don't know anything about a biopsy and nothing about results or about an mdt meeting as nothing is documented !   ️ ️ it just frustrating and that not how you supposed to treat a patient ... 

  • Hi sorry your finding it hard to get answers on your results. Unfortunately as yours aware things do get delayed. Turn around time on results depend on many things. Including how many have been sent to pathology that week. 

    I know it's frustrating but results can take up to 4 weeks to come bk. 

    I also am awaiting results from surgery I had on Tuesday and have been told not to expect them till end of April. Along time when you're waiting for answers. 

     

    Good luck xx
