hi its been almost 27 days since my ployectomy removel prosedure and not heard a thing even phoning the secrectory at the hospital.and gp.do you aoways get a letter of what they have found or not found.or if theres nothing to report the dont bother going mad.
Hi Shirley,it's been over 4wks since my colonoscopy where they took biopsy`s and I haven't heard anything yet either.I have booked an appointment with doc next week to see if anything has gone to her!!
It's a worry as you say.
I would ask your primary care doctor or the hospital ombudsman intercede on your behalf.
hi i rang up docters and she said nothings come to her but they say if anything wrong you would hear within 7 to 10 days but still make me feel any more better.
Hi Shirley. I don't know where you live, but whenever I have had a colonoscopy they have rang me within two days to see how I am, I also have been given a print out of the procedure that I have been through. Quite honestly, you need to make a complaint!!
hi jane im in the uk birmingham.when i left the hospital i had a printout of the prosidure of what they have done and what needs doing eg a poplys needs to be removed as bleeding and large.it said on the bottom no CANCER FOUND but having the polys removed a week later at another hospital another print out saying sent for histolergy on the polypus eg a biopsy,like they do with all parts removed its that report im worried about if it was not good .am i being over worring.rang gp today had nothing back about that biopsy still .
hi heather i rang gp today still nothing back it can take 6 weeks they said omg
Hi Shirley. I have always had results back within a week. All sounds a bit bizarre to me. However, am not sure how complicated your situation is. I I I am not a medic, so can't really comment on your situation. I would keep pushing for a diagnosis. Best of luck!
Hi Shirley,
Can you not make an appointment with your own GP and ask them what you should do. Maybe they can ring the hospital for you? It's a long time for you to be left not knowing.
hi fiona ive done all that at the gps they rang the hospital and the secertery is on leave but it seems i must be back of the queqe.apparentley some people wait 6 weeks but if urgent they are informed within 2 weeks even so i still worryed and need to be told .
hi heather hoping you got your results by now as i havent its a joke
Hi Shirley,
I know it's easier said than done, but try not to worry. Often, no news is good news. If they've told you urgent cases get informed within 2 weeks, try and take some comfort from that. I know it's hard, seemingly endless waiting, and I really hope you get your diagnosis soon. I do think you have waited long enough really though, and I sympathise. That said, the NHS is under such strain at the moment and for this reason, they may not be treating your case as urgent.
Please report back to us though, to let us know how you get on, and I hope it is good news. Take care.
Hi Shirley,,sorry I took so long to reply I have been away!I have an appointment with my doctor next week so im hoping to get some results/feedback then.
It is such a worry as you say as I still have the symptoms that prompted the colonoscopy and biopsys in the first place!!
hi at least you have been away which would have took your mind off things thats good are in the uk.theres still nothing back for me.i am thinking that they only write if theres a problem.did you have a bleeding polys removed lik me.?
Hi Shirley,
Being away didn't take my mind off as I'm still bleeding every time I go to the toilet
Didn't have bleeding polyp`s but they took two biopsies during the colonoscopy which I have had no results for although they said I would hear in 2/3 weeks and it's now been 6wks!
Will be asking my doc next wk to find out for me.
Hi heather arnt we a pair eh so sorry to hear that perhaps they didn't find anything and it may be something simple making you bleed at a bm lm trying so hard to keep sane but I know how you feel waiting for the postman or dreading the phone to ring please let us know how you get on at the docs good luck may I ask how young you are x
Hi Shirley,
Yes we are a pair of many pairs in a similar position I'm afraid but I'm thinking positive as someone said no news is hopefully good news!
Not a youngster at 61 but certainly not past my sell by date yet....lol! x
