Poo test - how long ?

Wibbles

I have been waiting 12 days for the results of a poo virus test on a sample handed to my GP on 10th April - how long should I wait for the results ?

nb NOT bowel cancer screening (I've had those already)

I've had relatives not having been contacted after sending off samples, apparently you have to initiate the contact

Nothing was out of the ordinary, I'd like to think if it was anything sinister, they would have made contact

i would ring your gp surgery in the morning

If you have online access to your medical records, the results might be shown on there.

Even before Covid I had to ask for the results of a stool sample though.  So as above, it seems like they don't tell you unless there's something wrong.

No they don't and I have just asked my surgery  for an update - nothing available yet - the lab haven't got back to the surgery yet !!

UPDATE

I have been told that "nothing untoward" was found in my poo sample

BUT I have been told that a CT scan was being arranged for my bowels !!!
