Pathology report

Hi,Everyone !!just got my pathology results thankyou they were in Mygov 

Interesting. My breast surgeon gave me (unasked) the pathology report on my breast surgery, the report on my seroma surgery a year later and even on the mole and a couple of other lumps he removed. I appreciate not wanting to cause unnecessary or unpleasant alarm, but it’s my body. I have had to specifically ask for bone density scan reports though (never refused but clearly not the norm). 

Thanks Gorgys

Hi,Katie,that's good you were able to get your results,I will keep trying hopefully next Tuesday I will have them in my hands😉

I asked for a copy from my surgeon, and while he didn't give me the pathology report (I think he would have if I  had insisted) he gave me a copy of the letter he sent to my oncologist which included my diagnosis, and the details of my surgery which he thought would be more useful. I was happy with that.

Hi @melzzs
I have never received any pathology reports from my oncologist, only from my GP. None of my cancer-related pathology reports are available on My Health Record, so I have to go through my GP. I have all the copies. 

Hi,I I have an appointment with a radiologist oncologist on the 7th I will try again then,it really makes it hard to have to go to the doctor just to get the pathology report,I haven't an income coming atm so its hard money wise,I will need my wound under my arm looked at as well 
Thanks for the advice 🙂

Hi @melzzs
I asked for a copy of my pathology report from oncologist.
She looked surprised but gave it to me - I got the idea from this forum.
IIf you can get it from your GP well and good but you definately are entitled to it .

That's great thanks byo_boy

Just as a note - you can see some pathology and other reports on My Health Record if you've enrolled for that service. Things like blood test results are there too, but generally aren't accessible for at least 7 days - I'm guessing it stops people self-diagnosing and freaking out before they see their GP, but I feel like those records are your data and should be accessible regardless.

Hope you feel better soon @melzzs!!!
