Hi
i have just recently had a suspicious lesion removed from my hand, this was a complete excision. The dermatologist suspects melanoma. I have now been waiting for 4 weeks for biopsy results and heard nothing. I was just wondering how long other people have had to wait for biopsy results. And if it would be worth me chasing this up with the hospital, or am I just wasting my time? Starting to get very anxious, also once results come through how long should I be expecting to wait for treatment?
thanks
