Hello janey66, 

I can understand why you are feeling worried after your GP called you and said you needed a biopsy but try not to worry too much about it as they are probably just being thorough which is a good thing because it is just over 5mm. 

I hope you won't have to wait too long for your biopsy. I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. There are helpful tips on this page to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

Best wishes,
