I had to wait over a month for the Pathologist’s final biopsy diagnosis.

I had to wait 10 days for pathology report

We usually see pathology results in about 3 days on the MyChart portal. On the most recent endoscopy, it was 10 days. The specimens were sent out to another lab for special stains and that's why it took so much longer than usual. Nerve racking having to wait

@abid, I wanted to check in. I know it was the holidays last week. Have you heard about your brother's biopsy report in the meantime?
