Partoid biopsy waiting for results

Posted , 3 users are following.

I went in for a FNB and the doctor tried twice and couldn't get a sample so he did a core biopsy instead. I haven't gotten the results yet but is that a bad sign?

    Probably a good sign as NHS treat positive results as urgent so I should think

    they would have contacted you soon after the test was done - you could try phoning the consultant's secretary to fix an appointment rather than wait for them to contact you.  I have done this once as the follow up appointments in my health authority are always longer apart than they say.    I had a negative result from varioius tests on my enlarged parotid gland - which I have had now for over two years - they still haven't decided what to do with it!!!!       Best of luck.
