On 24th June I had two excisions for possible amelanotic melanoma. I just wondered if anyone can give me an idea if wait times you've experienced for biopsy results as hospital were very vague. I previously had a basal cell which took weeks to get confirmed but obviously it's not as serious as potential melanoma. I'mbin the North East of UK.
Thank you 
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I was diagnosed with an amelanotic melanoma nearly 5 years ago now and I understand they're pretty rare. I've also just two weeks ago had a biopsy done on another mole that my consultant wanted removing.
When the most recent mole was removed I was told to contact the consultant's secretary if I hadn't heard anything after 6 weeks but they hope to have the results back before then.
When I had the amelanotic mole removed, not that I knew that was what it was at the time, the results took 6 weeks to come back and had taken that long because the pathology laboratories were particularly busy at that time of the year.
I hope that helps.

Thank you so much for your reply, the waiting is the worst, but I guess at 2 weeks I'm being impatient! My GP said they're rare, at my 2ww appointment the Consultant said he wanted them removing that same day which I never expected..... Fingers crossed your recent mole is nothing too serious. I'm glad I've come across this forum
Well looks like we'll be waiting together
