Wake Forest Baptist Cancer Center--Final Pathology & Wait Time

Just curious if anyone has also had breast surgery at Wake Forest Breast/Cancer Center in Winston-Salem NC? If so--how long was it before your pathology report came back and were you told in person or accessed it online once it was completed?

I had a lumpectomy done there on 9/20. They have a link on their website where patients can view results of pre-operative tests, appointments, records and other pertinent information. I forgot to ask my doctor before surgery since they knocked me out so quickly, how many days until pathology produces report, will it be posted in my online account, or will I have to wait until I see him to get the final result. Most everything else I've read indicates final pathology reports take anywhere from a week to three weeks.

As a footnote--my surgeon didn't use external stitches on me. Used a surgical glue which I think is terrific cosmetically. Much less painful than stitches also.

    Love your username - I'm a lover of books, too! I will have my surgery at UNC Chapel Hill, and all results are posted very quickly. I don't think they use the same system, but it's been long enough that I think a phone call would be justified.
