How long does it take to get the Bone Marrow Biopsy results?

  • My daughter had a Bone Marrow Biopsy to see what type of Leukemia she has yesterday at 11:00am. We still haven't heard anything back though. I've heard of people getting the results that same afternoon! Does it take long because it's a more complex type of cancer? I can't take the wait anymore!!!

  • Answer:

    It can take 45 minutes to a couple of days. Sometimes it is complex enough to send it to an outside pathologist. It may be because it is a weekend and the pathologist will not look at it until tomorrow.

We got the results the same afternoon, but still, it's the weekend, so don't get too worked up about it.
