Hi all
After 6 long weeks my results are in - 2 benign moles.
I feel a bit cross as the consultant was so sure they were melanoma - but I should have listened to you all here who told me he couldn’t know for certain without the biopsy results!
I feel guiltily mentally exhausted by it all (I’ve also had uterine polyps removed just before my moles in June this year so I’ve spent too long waiting for biopsy results which were all okay!)
I have one final ‘google’ induced question though!! According to google a punch biopsy isn’t that reliable for a melanoma diagnosis, thus is what the nurse who removed my moles did - although the consultant said they would do an eye shaped excision (he even drew the shape for me!). Sorry to ask but should I be still be worried about this?!) see google is terrible for making people worried but my consultant was v sure the were melanoma before they were removed!
I just want to say thank you to everyone for responding to my concerns and I hope everything turns out well for you all xxx
Thank you so much - excellent idea, I will call tomorrow.
one is still stinging deep down as it was before removal 
thank you, I hope you have a lovely Sunday xx
That's absolutely fantastic news Birthday01 ! I hope you're going to have a little celebration 
Like Rosalinda, I don't know if a punch biopsy is any less effective than a excision biopsy so speaking to the nurses on the Macmillan Support Line is a great idea. Unless you've got something on today, why don't you phone them now to put your mind at rest. The number is 0808 808 0000 and they're available until 8pm.

Thank you for the number, I didn’t realise they were open at the weekend!
V relieved (despite a little niggle) and may have had a few pink bubbles last night 
thank you for all of your support xx
