Left in limbo after diagnosis
I've just been diagnosed with breast cancer following a mammogram, ultra sound and biopsy. My GP is referring me to the hospital, which will take a couple of weeks. My GP says they aren't able to tell...
The pathology on the biopsy can take up to two weeks to return. He would have a rough idea of the stage by the size of the tumor in the mammogram but unconfirmed until the results are in. It did take a couple of weeks for my surgeon to answer the referral. My GP by then had a full body CT and a bone CT done while we were waiting and sent a copy of the results on to the surgeon.
