I really think you are reading more into this.I don't believe the Surgeon was avoiding to speak to you on purpose...He/she could have been busy at that time.Also the surgeon cannot know for certain,immediately after the procedure,if the tissue extracted is concerning or not.Only a pathologist can determine that, with a 100% accuracy.
When I had my surgery,the Surgeon did not speak to me straight away,but a week or so later, to let me know what the pathologist's results were.
I know,waiting is the worst part,but hang in there and try your best not to let your mind dwell on negative thoughts.Very soon you'll receive your results and hopefully it's going to be alright.
Take care now...
ok, one more question....did you ever have the dr, not come out and talk to you after the surgery? I ahve had a lot of surgeries...and the dr has talked to me after every one of them! So when he didn't come to speak to me, and then even when I asked to see him and he didn't come it felt like avoidance. Of course I am going to read more into this. But the last time I had a suspicious lump removed the surgeon told me right away that it was nothing to worry about, it was a fatty lipoma and they would send it off to path just to be sure. So that is the only experience I have to compare this one to. My mind is just a bit consumed. I need to just breathe and let it go!!!!!!
It depends on how busy the Institution is,but usually it takes 4 to 7 days for the results to reach your Doctor.
You could call the Radiology Department or your Dr,if after one week you don't receive any news.
Good Luck!!
So how long does it take (on average) to get biopsy results?
Hi,
I do remember you, and of course I won't yell at you! LOL.....Quite the contrary,I think you are very wise to have consulted a breast Surgeon to review your films and proceed with surgery to remove the area of concern.
Yes,the waiting it's the hardest part,but keep in mind that most abnormalities detected in the breasts,are innocuous .
Please come back to us and let us know about your biopsy results when you get them.Hopefully there won't be anything to worry about !
Wishing you all the best :)
