HI Pinkfan,

Waiting for results is always a worrying time. While some people get results - both good and bad, via email, letter or phone, most surgeons prefer to give them in person. I am glad to hear that you now have a follow up appointment and I sincerely hope that it turns out to be good news.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Hi Pinkfan,

Bless you. You have a lot to contend with at the moment. I hope that your dad's treatment goes well. Not feeling ready to receive your results now, is all par for the course. I shall be thinking of you at the weekend and am hoping for good news. Don't forget to let us know how you get on.

Kind regards,

Hi Pinkfan and thank you for your post,

As Jolamine has mentioned it can be a worrying and stressful time waiting for biopsy results, and there are several ways people may receive their results whatever the outcome.

I was sorry to see that your dad is going through prostate cancer, it sounds like you have a lot going on for you.

hi All i eventually got my results which from what i could take from the day 1, DR mumbled a bit hard to understand, 2, was concentrating on have to have more removed,  anyway they said my mole was on the verge of becoming cancer she did name it but i cannot remember what or could not understand what she said. a i have to have more sking from the surrounding area removed for this i am still waiting but just wanted to say thank you to everyone for being my shoulder in need.

Hi Pinkfan,

Thank you for the update.

Never be afraid to stop a doctor, if you don't understand what they say. It can be hard enough to take everything in, even if you do fully understand them. It is good that you have caught this early and that it is still at the pre-cancerous stage. I am sorry to hear that you need to have more skin removed from the surrounding area. Hopefully, this should be enough to remove any suspect area and you won't need any further treatment.

Do you know how long you are going to have to wait to get the skin removed? Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,
