My husband had biopsy last monday am. We were told would get results Friday but as of today (Monday) still no results. He’s scheduled for surgery this Thursday! They won’t remove mass on tongue base and tonsil if HPV negative or results not back. But they still want to do neck dissection! That means another surgery if it is HPV
How long did others to get results back?
