Hello I am new to this board but have been an Ivillage member for a while. I would like to ask those of you who might know how long it took to go from your endoscopic procedure to a diagosis of either H. Pylori or cancer diagnosis. I am awaiting testing results that were interrupted by a weekend in terms of reporting. I am just wondering how long the usual wait is. Thanks in advance.

Waiting for results is always the worst part of any test!


There is no standard amount of time; it depends on the people who performed the test, those that read the films and then transcriptionists that have to record all of the information. Then it is sent or faxed to the doctor that ordered the test. Weekends usually are not considered 'business' days and your best bet is to call your doctor's office at the time interval they told you.


Good luck and please let us know what you learn.
