My hubby had this done a few years back. He attended a clinic and had numerous tests done on the day & was given the results the same day. The only exception to this would have been if a biopsy was needed. Fortunately for my hubby, as he had only just had a cancer op for a different cancer, he didn’t need the biopsy & all was ok.
Good luck with your tests & fingers crossed all is ok for you.

Thanks for that, my daughter said they will do various tests on me as I will be with them 3/6 hours, finding it hard to tell my grandchildren, and my cat will go berserk as I won’t be around all day, and even worse if I’m in hospital, as she never leaves my side, but she knows when I disappeared to have shower she just sits on table watching for me to come in l hope your husband is okay mick

You are just going for the tests. Do your grandchildren really need to know about this yet? If (heaven forbid) you need to go into hospital, you might want to let them know, but hang fire until then.
As for the cat, she’ll survive. Get her a nice treat when you get home.
Most of all, Don’t delay. Do it as soon as possible!
Good luck.

@Mickyboy if it was me I wouldn’t tell the grandchildren until you have the test results. You might find that it is something simple that can be sorted easily & then they would have worried unnecessarily. Of course that’s a personal choice.
If your appointment is that long it sounds like they will do lots of tests whilst you are there. That’s very usual & saves you having to go back and forth & reduces the time you are worrying. Not knowing is the worst as you imagine all sorts.
My hubby is ok thanks.
Good luck.

Sorry to hear that @Mickyboy. At least you know what you’re dealing with now. Hopefully the op & treatment will be done very soon. Sending you lots of positive thoughts and good luck for the op etc.
If you are able & want to please let us know how you are getting on.
Best wishes
