Good luck. I tried to get them to give me the results over the phone but they wouldn't do it. There's some good info and advice on the UK cancer research site, if you read up on staging and grading you'll be able to ask the right questions about any treatment options. Here's the link if you want to look: cancerresearchuk.org/about-...

I think 2-3 weeks seems to be the average waiting time for results,they certainly are with me.hoping you have good news from your consultant

Thinking of you when you go for results

The waiting is the worst we go through at the beginning, I had a tumour removed from the bladder last December, the biopsy showed that they had not got all the tumor and it was aggressive and the scan also showed secondaries on my lungs, it was decided to treat the bladder first, I had 20 sessions. I am now having Chemotherapy for the lungs and it will be mid to late June before I know if it is having any effect. We have to be patient due to the waits for results. My faith keeps me strong and positive. God bless you, hope you get good news soon.
