I had a biopsy in early September 24 on a lump on my tongue.
After 7 months, I still hadn't received feedback on whether the results showed any cancerous cells, so I contacted Louth hospital to try to obtain the results. I was transferred to Lincoln hospital who said they would investigate the reasons for me not receiving the results. After a week, I received a text appointment for a feedback session. I needed to change the date and time, as it was originally set for a time I could not make. I eventually received a call from a doctor 8 months and 1 week after my biopsy. Fortunately the results were all good, and the doctor did apologise, stating I had been 'missed' on the system for my results feedback. An awful long time for me to worry.
