Why did it take 2 months to find out my home colon test was positive? what if it was cancer, isnt two months too long to wait, why didnt they call me?

Follow up : You should always follow up test results with a call or a visit. I will discuss with the practice management of the physicians office. They need to know this is bad . Practice
