Answers:
I was diagnosed with lymphoma by core needle biopsy rather than an open or excisional biopsy because they weren't really expecting lymphoma !.!.!. I had my biopsy on a Thursday morning and was called by the surgeon with the results the following Wednesday morning!. So about 6 days for me!. It was one of the longest six day periods of my life! In that 6-day time, they were able to determine it was a) lymphoma, b) what kind of lymphoma (I had Hodgkin's Disease), and c) what the sub-type was (nodular slerosing)!. Good luck to your daughter and hopefully you will get some answers soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They want to be sure about the diagnosis before they tell you about it and so it can take four days to a week, especially if there are any questions about benign, malignancy, or type!. If you do not hear from the doctor by Monday than give the office a call and ask!. At least they will look into what is taking so long and than get back to you!. Calling just reminds them that they are dealing with an anxious parent or patient !. !. bug them!. And, if your daughter does have a cancer please consider having her seen by a pediatric oncologist or an adolescent and young adult oncologist as they are more experience with cancers associated with this age group!.

Best to you !. !. and hope for good news !. !.no cancer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Most biopsy results take 3-5 business days!. If you haven't received a call from the office by Tuesday or Wednesday, call them!.
