Hello there Jenny and thanks for posting

I am sorry to hear about your situation and appreciate this must be a worrying time for you.

Waiting for results can be unsettling for people, but keeping busy and the mind on other things can sometimes help pass the time.

Unfortunately no one here can say what is going on with this mole and it will only be the pathology results that can say what this is.

Dermatologists are very experienced at assessing this types of things and it sounds like they were suspicious by what they could see. However they also will be relying on the results to confirm what is actually going on and what the next steps may involve.

It is impossible to read too much into the timings i'm afraid and as the hospital told you to book an appointment for follow up 6 weeks later it is unlikely you will hear anything sooner.

I hope everything is okay for you but do get back if you wish to or give us a buzz on 0808 800 4040 weekdays 9-5 if you prefer.

Take care

Naomi
