Hi,
I had a cyst removed from my upper left jaw exactly a week ago. The surgeon came to me before the op, explained what he was going to do, and after the op I expected to see him again to tell me how it went. But I was just sent home with painkillers and an appointment to follow up in 7 weeks.
I rang the hospital today to see if I could get the results of the biopsy and was told I will be told during my follow up in 6 weeks time!! 6 weeks is a hell of a long time to wait especially if it's bad news!!
I just wondered if anyone else had a similar experience of having to wait this long, is it the norm? I don't think I can function for that long without knowing.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
