Waiting for biopsy results - how long is it in Manchester?

Having read around on here quite a lot in the last few weeks I'm hoping that posting can be a bit of an outlet.

I noticed a strange mole on my back at the start of June which was seen quickly by the GP and was benign but the one next to it that I hadn't even considered has now been removed. I've only waited a week so far for results and I know that it will be nearer to 4 according to the nurse but it's just so hard keeping my mind from not going over and over what ifs. It's probably fine but until there's certainty I can't help but go through what could be. I feel like waiting is taking over other things that I should be able to enjoy at the moment as part today of my brain just holds back on everything. I also realise that so many people have much worse to deal with but I know so many others are in this waiting game too. 

If anyone in the Manchester area happens to read and can tell me how long they've waited I would appreciate it as something to base my timeline on at least.

    its good to reach out to this group ️
    the waiting I think is the hardest part.. I had colonoscopy a week ago where 14 biopsies were taken.   I feel your anxiety I wake up very early don't know why checking emails then checking my phone constantly for missed calls voice mail ect ect... 

    it's crazy isn't it but it's not easy waiting and not knowing I hope our wait isn't much longer fingers crossed.
