I am interested in hearing other people's experiences on how long they have had to wait for the results. My sentinel node biopsy and wide excision were on 20/08/2026, and no results yet. I do not have a plastics follow-up appointment for another 2 weeks; for me, this is causing my anxiety about what the future holds. I am currently a 2B; my melanoma was on the side of my temple.
