Suspected melanoma AI appt

I had what I think is similar, they called Tele dermatology. They took photos with a special lense. Got the call to come back in for biopsy within 2 weeks. Results on Monday

Hi 

thanks for responding. I’ve been this morning so just have to wait to hear anything. Wishful thinking on my part I would get told today ️

  crossed for your results 

Hi 

I’ve accessed my results today on nhs app. Says ‘ left mole suspicious of MM, right atypical naevus’ due to dimensions best excised en bloc by plastics’. I have a follow up phone call scheduled with a nurse next Wednesday but feel bit worried but better to be in the know hey 

Hi Penny,

how long did it take for you to see the results on the app? I have just had an appointment 7 days ago for the same - dermoscopy and photo for AI - but still have not heard anything and there’s nothing in my NHS app or hospital online portal, no result, no upcoming appointment etc. 

I hope you have all results by now after having your biopsy. all the very best! 

Hi 

My results were on the app around a week later the hospital appt for photos. They were contained in my medical records and within the document, but no one actually told me, just cancer is a possibility. Thanks, had the removal last Monday, not pleasant but pleased it’s done. They said biopsy results will be 8-12 weeks though so have a long wait. Hope you can access yours soon

Thanks so much for replying. Fingers crossed for your biopsy! Yes, it must be at least some relief to have the removal done. 8 to 12 weeks seems like a very long time for biopsy results. I really hope you get to hear from them a bit sooner. 

Thanks, I thought is a very long wait too! But can’t do anything to change it so it’ll be what it is. Hope you get some answers soon, from what I’ve read online the AI is very efficient for melanoma detection
