Following biopsy of a black raised new mole at the beginning of January, I finally have my appointment for results this week. The wait has been and still is awful. Just wanted to know if people have been called in early because theIr diagnosis was melanoma? Or is it usual to get the results 4 weeks later no matter what?
Hi
I'm afraid you can't read anything in to how long it takes to get your results back. It purely depends on how long it's taken for the biopsy to be looked at and how busy the pathology labs are.
Hopefully yours will be negative for melanoma and you'll be coming back next week to give us the good news 
. However, rest assured that if it's not good news then there's plenty of us here to help you through the next stage.

I think we've all been where you are now , hoping that results back early means that it's not melanoma or results that take a long time mean it's nothing to worry about.
What day next week is your appointment?

I'll be keeping everything crossed for you on Wednesday .
Yes you're right my check up is on Friday, so thanks for your best wishes.

No need to apologise for asking anything here .
I wasn't advised to bring anyone with me when I went for my results but I don't know if that's normal or not. My appointment came by letter from the hospital.
