Waiting for mole biopsy results

Hi,

I had a new mole checked out that I didn’t like the look of. I booked an appointment at my doctors they took a photo and sent it to dermatology. Dermatology then sent me a text message for a booking for clinical photography. It then took another 9 days and I had a text for admission for dermatology I had it taken out on the 30/9. 
It’s now been 5 weeks and 3 days I had a text for an appointments for dermatology at the same hospital it was taken out. The appointment isn’t for another 10 days. I haven’t received a letter yet to give me more information. But I know that if it’s nothing to worry about they usually only send a letter telling you what it is. I have terrible anxiety over this, I can’t concentrate or sleep properly. I am thinking the worst. Has anyone had an appointment and been told it’s ok. 
i originally went in on 13th of August and I feel like I have waited ages and had so much anxiety I can’t take anymore waiting. 

thank you 

Gabby

  • It's impossible to second guess what they are going to tell you but if it's a new mole and it's already been excised if it is anything there's a good chance it's been caught early. My partner's had been changing for about 6 years before we realised it needed checking and the only reason we know how long ago it started to change is from family pics. You've done the right thing getting it checked quickly. I hope it was benign x

  • Thanks for the reply, I’m just so sick with worry. The waiting is terrible, I can’t concentrate. I’m trying to be positive . I hope your partner is doing well. 

  • Most people I've spoken to say that the waiting on results is really one of the hardest parts. Once people get results back at least plans can be put in place. It really is horrible. I'm sorry you've got another week of waiting and trying to hold it together. Got everything crossed it was benign x
