<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.i had thyroid lobectomy almost 5 weeks ago as my ultrasound showed suspicious for papillary cancer. i am still awaiting results. Is this normal to be waiting this long. I dont have my follow up appointment for another 2 weeks and the waiting is driving me crazy. Could my gp give me the results once they are sent to her, which as yet she has not received either.  <response>: Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have suspicions of papillary carcinoma of thyroid. Your thyroid lobectomy has been sent for histopathological examination. Histopathological examination take 5 to 7 days for confirmatory diagnosis. So you should consult your pathologist and ask for the report. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
