Afternoon all

sorry didn’t know how to update previous post. 

so 2 weeks after having my suspicion mole removed, I’ve just had a message to attend a follow up appointment (they said 6-8 weeks originally)  Now I’m panicking!

Obviously minds gone into overdrive but should I be worried? 

TIA

  • Hi Julie/ 

    It'll hopefully give you some peace of mind if I tell you that whether you have melanoma or not doesn't depend on how quickly your results are back. You are just lucky that your pathology lab was able to do them quickly. I had to wait 6 weeks for my results and it was still melanoma, so people who say that no news is good news are, sadly, wrong.

    Hopefully yours will turn out to be just an unusual mole but you'll get plenty of support if it is a melanoma.
