Yes, it's common to have to wait a couple weeks around here, even for something like a biopsy for a suspicious lump.
No, that kind of wait should not be normal. Things like this should be checked ASAP.
It's totally fine and normal for you to be worried, OP. This stuff can be serious. Anyone making you feel bad for worrying can pound sand. It's probably the same ashole poster who goes around shtting on everyone in every thread.
You should call around every office you can find on Google. I was given a 2 week wait for my lump biopsy, and I was the most anxious I have been in my life. I was able to find another office that had an opening later that same week and went there. They were so nice, and I actually liked the radiologist WAY better than the first one. I would go back to this second office if I ever had to do it again.
I’ve seen a number of unkind comments to people on this site since I recently joined.
When people are disclosing something difficult and/or seeking support, advice and guidance, and are treated to such mean spirited responses, it is not helpful.
How about some empathy and compassion.
