Mole Removal 9 weeks ago

I had a small mole removed 9 weeks ago and havnt had any result so rang surgeons secretary for any update. She said that I have to have face to face meeting with consultant but couldn’t say anything else. This appointment is for June 11th?? Should I be worried or is this normal? Thanks 

  • Hello, and thank you for posting.

    I am afraid I do not know what the doctor might discuss at the appointment.

    However, I can say that many different types of cancerous, precancerous, and abnormal cells can be seen on biopsy, each with different follow-up. They might also want to review the area and discuss your future skin care.

    How appointments are carried out can also be down to local policy. All hospitals deal with follow-ups differently; it could be that yours prefers face-to-face follow-ups, not phone calls.

    I appreciate that waiting and uncertainty are difficult, but it is only your hospital team that knows the answer.

    Take care, and hopefully you will know more soon.

    Sarah.
