Bronscospopy results

[EmmaB66]

Hi There,

I had a bronscospopy on Tuesday. I haven't heard anything back yet does that mean it's

Not lung cancer. Thorax scan in January showed some abnormalities. Consultant wasn't sure if old infection or fungal disease ect or even TB.

Many Thanks

Emma

EmmaB66 so sorry to hear you are going through such a worrying time awaiting the results of your bronchoscopy . It would be unlikely that any results would be available yet if you only had this done on Tuesday . The test is carried out and a report is then produced detailing the findings . If the bronchoscopy is suspicious of lung cancer often a biopsy is required to give a more accurate diagnosis. The investigation process can take up to 3 weeks before there can be any certainty either way. If you require any further information or support please contact our Ask the Nurse service, on 03333237200,x where one of our support nurse can talk to you in more detail.
