I do not recommend anyone to follow my example. Four weeks after my RB biopsy, I was summoned by my GP to see him at his clinic. He was visually angry or frustrated that I did not contact him since we both knew that the result would be out in 5 working days. He scheduled an appointment with the oncologist for me, and the latter confirmed no cancer cell in the RB.
The oncologist has ordered an MRI on the LB, followed with a biopsy (since last attempt was aborted due to my vomit). I probably will drag my feet again.

Hoping the OP gets the same news.
Yeah!

Ugh!!! I HATE that. I think the same thing happened to me. I played a little phone tag with the doctor. Hang in there.

The imaging center where I had my biopsy on Monday scheduled an appointment for me right after the procedure to get the results on Thursday. They said everyone was required to get results in person not over the phone. Ended up the PA called me yesterday morning to tell me the results were benign. She asked if I wanted to keep the appointment with the doctor or cancel it. I cancelled.

I realized later if I ever have to have another biopsy, I’ll know if the news is bad if they don’t call.

Well, they called to tell me they can't tell me yet. They say they didn't get the results till 2pm (I called after 1pm). My doctor is off today so another doctor is supposed to review them and get back to me when she's done with her last patient who is at 4pm.



I can no longer concentrate. I opened chocolate.



I had done pretty good until this afternoon

LOL. Maybe that’s why the saying goes “Candy's dandy, but Liquor’s quicker!”

I only had a couple more bites!! lol

This is beyond crazy. I'm sitting at my desk. My phone is in front of me. Volume is on. And.... I get a voicemail from the doctor saying she's sorry she missed me!!! It never even rang. At least she said she'd try back. I called back and left a message saying that if it doesn't go through to please try again. I just want to jump out a window right now
