Hi Takecare,

Welcome to our forum. Please don't be worried about the speed with which this is all happening. This is perfectly normal. It is usual to get a biopsy when a dermatologist has the slightest suspicion that there could be something untoward present, but this is done as much to rule out cancer as it is to diagnose it.

Protocols are a little different to the normal due to the current pandemic. Most doctors like to give any test results face-to-face, but some are giving them via phone at present.

Try to stay away from Dr Google, as much of this information is incorrect, poorly researched, out of date and aimed at the spectacular cases. Because of our propensity for thinking the worst whilst waiting for results, we tend to make ourselves even more anxious, for no particular gain.

The way you are feeling is how most of us feel, when faced with the unknown. If it's of any consequence to you, you will feel better about this once you know what lies ahead, irrespective of whether your news is bad or good.

Keep yourself as busy as you can whilst waiting. This doesn't have to be all work. Make some time for pleasurable pursuits too. This helps to pass the time.

I am hoping and praying that you get good results.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
