Waiting for biopsy results

One week ago today I had 3 suspicious moles removed from my legs. I am waiting for my biopsy results and finding it so difficult to think about anything else. The dermatologist did say it could take up to 6 weeks at the moment to get the results. How do I stay calm in the meantime?

  • Hello Nikster

    I'm sorry to hear that you're waiting for biopsy results at the moment. We know that waiting for appointments can be a really difficult time for many people and it's understandable that you may be feeling anxious and worried.

    Hopefully, you will be able to keep busy over the next few weeks and you won't have to wait too long for your results. Do let us know how you get on.
