Hi guys,
I'm posting in here as I can't seem to find any previous posts that have covered this, which I'm taking as a positive? Kinda?
I had a rather enlarged mass on my back, have done for a while, however at the end of Feb this year the skin had begun to peel. Now, this mass started originally as a small red spot on my lower back, and over 2.5 years of constant picking and scratching, was now similar to a Blueberry in size, and it's fleshy, translucent red colour had changed to a shade of purple. It was soft to the touch at all times and certainly had no firmness unless really pressed.
I was put on the 2WW and had my appointment and excision on the 29th of March. The doc assured me it was nothing but a large Cherry Angioma, that perhaps had become a granuloma because of, well, my constant bothering it. In any case, the surgeons looking also agreed with their colleague and it was removed, I have a cracking scar too.
They told me they were going to make it a green notice, and not a red notice. However, they stuck with the red and a 6-8 week urgent turnaround. We're at the cusp of week 6 now so I gave them a call on the off chance, to see if they'd heard, when I was told my sample had been sent to Leeds (I'm from Hull) and it was now a 12-16 week turn around.
Has anyone had their results delayed by double before? Has anyone had their result sent to another hospital before, if so, what is the general consensus of the outcome?
Thanks in advance for any responses.
