Feeling really anxious about what I’m going to find out tomorrow. Had a mole excision 5 weeks ago and they said results would be by post but got a letter with appointment. I keep thinking that there must be something wrong to get me in. Surely if everything was clear they would just send letter saying that. Been counting down the days to this appointment.I’m in County Durham has anyone any experience of how it works getting results there ?

  • Hi LadyBaba

    I always get anxious when I get a letter and when there are appointments- it's very natural.

    I wonder if it is that the consultant prefers to check the site where the mole was excised to check for healing and to check that you have recovered. It could also be that there could be follow up checks/ or they want to go over what to do yourself- if you have anything else pop up in the future. Some consultants just prefer to see you. 

    I never had any results by letter, they were always a phone call or appointment. 

    Good Luck for tomorrow

  • Thanks Jane for your reply. Maybe I am overthinking everything but at least it’s not long to wait now. I had an ultrasound on Tuesday because of high liver results and they found 2 polyps on my gallbladder which I am getting a referral done for. So just something else to batter my mind with Slight frown

  • Hi LadyBaba – I have had face to face that was to check all my other moles after I had one that was severely dysplastic. Years later I was again called in for severe dysplasia as doctors wanted to review the need for WLE to be super-cautious. So, treat as melanoma but not melanoma!! Until you get there you won't know what it is. Sounds like you have a lot going on, so hope you get a good night's sleep tonight. Thinking of you and sending good wishes for tomorrow. x

  • Thanks Rosalinda. It all sounds very complicated and so many different things it could be x
