Lesion biopsy

Hi, I had a biopsy taken of what appeared to be a suspicious mole 5 wks ago. It was estimated that the results would come back 2-3 wks. I’ve been in touch with the hospital regularly to see why my biopsy is taking longer than the other biopsies and today they found out it’s gone off to see another specialist but didn’t state why. 
can someone please shed some light on why that would happen and does should I be expecting bad news? 

thank you 

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    I have heard of people having another pathologist take a second look at a biopsy to confirm the initial results, I am not sure how often this happens, but it does from time to time.

    Waiting for results is seldom an easy situation to cope with. Try to keep an open mind about everything for now until your doctors can tell you more and take things one step at a time. 

    Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes,
