How Long Papillary Cancer Take To Be Diagnosed?
i had thyroid lobectomy almost 5 weeks ago as my ultrasound showed suspicious for papillary cancer. i am still awaiting results. Is this normal to be waiting this long. I don't have my follow up appointment for another 2 weeks and the waiting is driving me crazy. Could my gp give me the results once they are sent to her, which as yet she has not received either.
