<human>: 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 dont 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.
<bot>: Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have suspicions of papillary carcinoma of thyroid. Your thyroid lobectomy has been sent for histopathological examination.  Histopathological examination take 5 to 7 days for confirmatory diagnosis.  So you should consult your pathologist and ask for the report. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
