@horiconmarshgal- Good morning. I would also like to join in welcoming you to Mayo Clinic's Connect.

You must be beyond frustrated and scared.
I know you are anxious, as everyone in this group would be, so let's get right to it!

I am assuming that you are calling the office of the physician who recommended the tests and biopsy, correct? Or are you calling the local hospital or cancer center?

I know that a week seems like an eternity but it is not an outrageous time to wait for the results of a lot of tests. Usually, after a lot of tests are done, especially with suggested cancer is concerned. the doctor at the hospital will get a team together and discuss the outcome and preferred treatment.

I'm curious- Do you know if the local hospital sent the results of all of your tests to the cancer center?

If this were me, I'd be calling the doctor at the local hospital constantly until I get an answer to this question. Here are a couple of questions that I probably would ask:
"When will the results of my tests be given to me? Has the doctor recommended me to the cancer center, and if so, to whom? May I have the number of that person?"

Then, if you have no answers after asking those, trot your body to the local hospital or the doctor's office.

I hope that by the time you are at the doctor's office if you haven't been called" you might get some tears going in your voice..that always helps me get someone's attention!

Please don't hesitate to ask if I can help in any other way. Let's at least get you into seeing someone and get those results!

By the way, I know that this is rather sexist, but a male's voice always helps! I have a high voice and often ask my husband to call. Oftentimes I'd be called, " Honey, where's your mother?"

Merry
