Hi, I recently had a mole removed that is suspected to be melanoma. It’s been 10 days and I’m waiting for results. Would I be contacted quicker if it was bad news?  I’ve seen some people have been contacted within a week as it was bad news. How long did your results take? 

  • Hi I was advised it would be 2 weeks after the biopsies, it was exactly 2 weeks when I got a telephone call from the dermatologist secretary to arrange a telephone call for results. 
    one mole was a melanoma in situ the other was stage 2C malignant melanoma. 

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
