Hello, three weeks sounds long to wait for a biopsy, here in New Brunswick, Canada it takes a week to just a bit over a week and NB is one of the slower provinces. My husband had to get a biopsy after his surgery and prior to his radiation to insure he did not have a reacurance and it took one week. The pathology report after the surgery took almost a month, usually it takes three weeks. (In this case they are studying the entire surgical resection slice by slice)
