Unfortunately, in the U.S. and Canada our Health Care is over-loaded so a biopsy can take up to several days to even two to three weeks. Please phone your doctor's office after a week has gone by and they can give you an approximate time as to when your biopsy results should be in.
I know waiting for a biopsy is very difficult and it seems to be the worst part in the whole process.
