Hi I have just come home from the telederm clinic. I had photographs of the mole taken and I asked to look at the photo which was taken under the microscope. I am 99% certain that this will be said to be a suspected melanoma and it will need to be removed. It is making me feel stressed as I am worried that the waiting times for removal will be long, and this is concerning as the first line of treatment is the removal of the melanoma,

  • Let us know how he gets on when his photos are taken and assessed.

  • Will do. A friend of mine who has another cancer has just been diagnosed with a malignant melanoma also x

  • How did your results go? I hope all was fine. Had my mole removed today, and am now waiting for results which I have been told will be 4 to 6 weeks time. X

  • Hi

    Thanks for asking after me Slight smile Thankfully, the suspected BCC on my chest was confirmed as a BCC but it's all been removed so I don't need any further treatment. The suspicious mole on my back turned out to be a slightly abnormal mole so no treatment needed there either!

    When I had my recent biopsy excisions I was told up to 6 weeks for results but they came back in 4 weeks. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that yours come back quickly and that no melanoma is found.
