Mole removal results

Hi all,

I had my moles removed just over 3 weeks ago and today had a call from the receptionist at the hospital telling me I have an appointment booked on the 8th to go over my results.

I got two moles removed - one in the middle of my back (which had increased in size, changed in shape and in colour all over the last year) and the other one was just above my armpit which I had never noticed before.

I can't help but panic... will I be told bad news? Or is the fact that they've booked it on the 8th a sign that it's not as urgent and so it will be good news?

I am a bit of a worrier so any advice/ words of reassurance would be grand!

Thanks,

B

  • Time of day, a week, 2 weeks, a phone call, in person etc have no bearing on the news given. The hospitals are busy, as they were before covid too, so don't go reading too much into the date and time of your appointment. People cancel too, and appointments being gold dust, others get shoehorned into fast appointments, or appointments with this timeframe or that timeframe.

    I know it's human nature to overanalyse absolutely everything during the waiting stage, we all do it, but there is no rhyme or reason to any of it. We also overanalyse single words in letters or what we heard in the phone call.

    This forum is absolutely littered with people getting both good and bad news regardless of when the appointment is scheduled. No one can tell you anything other than those treating you. Might not be the answer you're looking for, but it is the reality i'm afraid.
