Appointment to discuss results

HI all,

4 weeks after my wife's biopsy she received a call today asking her to attend an appointment this Thursday to discuss the results. 

I'm assuming that there wouldn't be a need for a face to face appointment for this if it wasn't Melanoma. 

Would I be right in assuming that?

It's been an anxious wait but seems like this won't be the news we were hoping for.

Appreciate any thoughts.

Thanks

  • Hi  

    When I had my first biopsy, I was given an appointment for my results and, at that point, there was no way they knew if I had melanoma or not.

    The second time I had a mole removed, at a different hospital, I was told I'd get a letter through the post if everything was okay and a face-to-face if needed.

    So in my experience, it depends on the protocol of the hospital whether you automatically get an appointment no matter what or not.

    I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for your wife.
