Results stuck in pathology?

Your report is a victim of people taking vacations over the holidays most likely.

In the same boat w you; waiting to find out about my pathology report. My Lumpectomy was Friday. Hopefully they won't be too hung over to read our results. Hard to wait!!

Could also be that the radiologist and pathologist are going back and forth. I started calling to get my results about 5 days post CNB. They gave me the results that were in, benign. But then has to follow up the next week that it’s discordant. Almost might have been easier waiting until radiology and pathology had finished conferring. Hang in there

I guess it is standard procedure for two pathologists to look at the specimen independently at the local lab. Mine came back DCIS / LCIS by one pathologist, and ADH/ALH by another. They then sent the specimen out to Vanderbilt for a third opinion, which took nearly an extra week. The third pathologist called it ADH/ALH. Apparently both results look very similar under a microscope. The good news in this type of delay is that none of those diagnoses are invasive cancer. My onc said IDC was easy to distinguish with the staining process they use in pathology.

yay! Phew is right

Surgery sound like the most proactive choice! I hope you get an appointment with a surgeon soonest!
