"Late biopsy results"

About: Russells Hall Hospital / General surgery

(as a service user),

I had a fast track biopsy and D& C beginning of February and was told that the histology results would be with me within 10 to 14 days.   The fact that I was being checked for cancer was obviously very worrying and the wait for my results caused me great anxiety.   Well today  we are in the middle of March and, despite chasing my results twice, I have still not received them.   I am still in pain and need to see my doctor, but they told me to wait until I get my results.   Hopefully I will receive them sometime in 2021.
