Biopsy results

Hi there Scotts-lass welcome to the forum  I wish I could wave a magic wand, but just got to stay positive, I actually researched different stages of melanoma to have an idea of what would be next depending on my results, for ne it worked, I wasnt too worried during the wait, and even when I got my results and was told those awful words it is melanoma, I was better prepared. I am sure others will reply with how they manage and have managed

Hi sonny09. Thank you for taking the time to reply to me. I'm glad you are coping well with your diagnosis. I feel very anxious & my leg is really sore at the moment, i have 10 stitches at the site of the biospy. All we have to do is remain positive though, i just hope i don't have to wait too long for my results. I hope you are well x

No worries, where on your leg was it? I had to wait 2 weeks for my results, but I think I already had a feeling it was going to be some type of skin cancer. I have ups and downs but generally staying positive, v busy at work so that helps, but have my WLE and SLNB next Wednesday and Thursday, then the anxious wait for those results.

Hello,  I was diagnosed in May (complete shock) I have stage 2a melanoma. After waiting weeks I was told my case had been  referred to the cancer center in Birmingham and a few weeks ago I met my new pathway team.  Today had my pre op for the wle and slnb but still no firm date. Some days I feel great, like my old self but other days I feel exhausted and worn out. I work full time (thanks to who ever decided to mess with the retirement age of 50s born baby girls) and also care for my husband who is diabled. I'm 65. My coping technique is drink - no only joking. It's trying to keep positive even when you feel miserable. I still feel like this is not happening to me, but unfortunately it is. I think we all feel the same, waiting for appointments then results is terribly stressful but we're in safe hands x

Hi Scots-lass! I hope you are coping alright. 

I had two excision biopsies done at the beginning of August and will get my results on Monday. 

I haven’t been nervous or worried until yesterday to be honest. My attitude has really be “what will be will be” and I’ve tried to keep it out of my mind until now. Obviously my results appointment is coming up so it’s beginning to play on my mi d a bit more now. 

Move also tried to keep myself as busy as possible so that I don’t think of it too much! 

Hope you get your results soon.
