Awaiting results skin biopsy melanoma

I had my 2 moles removed both on my back 16 days ago. Had stitches removed yesterday hoping they had some news as been told I will get my results 2 to 3 weeks. Chased it yesterday and they said it's being processed? Not sure wether to take it as a good sign it's getting done? And maybe will hear very soon?

The wait is frustrating and I can't think of anything else.

  • Hello Amynorts85, 

    Waiting for results is incredibly frustrating and it's a time when it is hard to think of anything else and when the uncertaintly can lead you to imagine all sorts of things and expect the worst. Hopefully being told it's being processed will mean that it won't be long now until you hear back but each passing day can feel like a lifetime. If you don't hear anything back next week, it might be worth giving them another ring but fingers crossed the results are indeed being processed and you will get some news very soon. 

    Wating for results is such an anxious time and there is information on this page to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

    I am keeping everything crossed for you that it all turns out to be fine. 

    Best wishes,

  • Hi Lucie,

    I contacted my gp practice this morning and the receptionist wasn't helpful. She said there's nothing on the system. And to ring back on Thursday to speak with GP! So I logged a complaint! Then spoke to someone else on reception they checked everything and said there's no info that it's been done. I also got the no news is good news from the receptionist which frustrates me more. However she managed to get in touch with the gp today so I should get some info.

    I am getting really frustrated and keep checking my phone!
