have you called your doctors office yet?  I am in the same boat, but it has only been 4 days, i got mine done on Monday.  

The doctor who did the biopsy told me that it would take about 2 or 3 days to get the results back.  He said right after the biopsy, it would go to the lab, they would analyze the sample on a a slide, which would take the rest of the day, then the next day that report would go to a pathologist who would determine the stage and grade and what ever else.  then those results would go ba k to the doctor who did the biopsy and after that then the results would get mailed to my hep doctor.  So probably about a week, but the doctor who did the biopsy said he would call me with the results so I didn't have to wait so long... still waiting....I really want to know before Christmas.  

Anyway, maybe call your doctor and start bugging him/her about the results....Hope you hear something soon...
