How long did you wait for test results

I'm having surgery tomorrow am, wide excision with sentinel node biopsy. I have been told lots of different times to wait to get the results back from 5 days to 2 weeks. How long did you have to wait for your tests to come back. Oh how I hope it's not two weeks? I've been waiting since 9th of April, seems forever ! Thanks Mary

  • I had my surgery and sentinel node biopsy on the 13th March and went back for my results 7 days later. But I have heard from other women that it can take up to 2 weeks to get all pathology results back. I have had other tests since then like scans, biopsies, and more blood tests which have taken a good 2 weeks for results. So it's abit fraustrating but not much we can do.  Good luck with your surgery tomorrow and best wishes.

    Take care
