I mentioned before my biomarker results took 2 months (6-7 weeks) for results to come back. Check with your surgeon's office to inquire.

@julie67, If samples were sent out to a special lab for biomarker testing, results generally take about 2 weeks, but as others have noted it can be much longer. Some larger hospitals with large labs are starting to do their own testing on-site.
