Still No Results From Op.

[Caran]

It's getting on for 6 weeks since I had the op on my hand.
I still haven't had the results from the biopsy. How long do these normally take?

I'd advise making contact after six weeks Caran.

Unless there is something out of the ordinary they may not get in touch
I believe most only do so when there is
Sort of no news is good news policy

When I had my prostate op at the beginning of last year, I was called back in two and a half weeks later to be given the (unwelcome) result of the biopsy. After six weeks, I reckon that you can probably assume that 'no news is good news' but it might still be worth hassling the hospital (or your GP) anyway.
