I had a biopsy last week and I had an appointment this afternoon to get the result but I have just had a call to say they are not ready. I have to wait another week. Is this a bad sign does anybody know?

I wouldn’t see it as a bad sign at all dragonfly . Often when things aren’t right they get you back ASAP . Maybe just a patient backlog? Having had biopsies earlier this year I know how worrying the wait can be. Fingers crossed all will be fine smile

Not a bad sign, normally they call you in earlier if something is wrong. Best of luck to you.

Probably more due to a backlog in the laboratory than anything else. Please don't make it worry you (any more than it already is).

They have just rung to say the results are in so going this afternoon. Feel sick now!!

gillybob Thu 29-Nov-18 12:51:00

Oh do let us know how you get on. I’ll be thinking of you x

Happy to sit with you in the waiting room! Look around and imagine that every apparently empty chair is occupied by someone from GN who is there to hold your hand.
Good luck!

Karanlouise Thu 29-Nov-18 13:52:06

I hope all goes well. I will be thinking about you.

mcem just what I was going to say!

I can't think of anything worse than waiting for results. Besides being on edge you can neither think straight nor eat. Usually when your mind runs amok it's not the result that was expected and the relief is enormous.
I hope it's all good. x

I will be beside your other side in the waiting room. I hope that all is well.

Not so good. I was diagnosed with breast cancer growing outside the breast. Have already had blood tests, mammogram and ecg. Got ct scan on Sunday and MRI on Monday. Get the results on 13th.

Sorry dragonfly. I think we all know how well treatment and recovery rates have improved so every reason to be optimistic but you still have the hassle of treatment to get through. Lots of advice on here from grans who have experience and lots of good vibes winging your way.

I'm sorry to hear your news, dragonfly, such a difficult day for you and your family.
You know there are many grans who will be able to offer support, so don't give up on GN..

gillybob Thu 29-Nov-18 19:00:41

I have been thinking about you today and am so sorry to hear your news dragonfly .
Im glad to hear that they are acting promptly which I understand will be very hard for you but good to know you are being looked after without too much waiting. I can’t pretend to know how you must be feeling but do please try and stay positive and stay with GN . There’s usually someone pootling about here most times of the day and night . I get really bored at work so never be frightened to PM me for a chat any time . Stay strong xx

dragonfly46 Thu 29-Nov-18 19:02:41

Thank you you are all so kind. What will be will be I am afraid.

grannyqueenie Thu 29-Nov-18 19:14:39

I’m sorry it’s been such worrying news for you, but glad to they’re cracking on with tests etc. Thinking of you as you wait for 13th to come around, it’ll seem an age I know. x

cornergran Thu 29-Nov-18 19:19:01

Been thinking about you today dragonfly. Not what you wanted to hear, I’m so sorry you have this worry. Gilly is right, there’s always someone about if you want a chat. Lots of people to listen. Sending love and hugs.
