Mole Biopsy Results

This is the first time I have posted on here, feeling quite nervous about the whole situation.

On 3rd October I had a mole removed which had a minor change. I have had a few other moles removed as I am at high risk as my mum has had melanoma and I have 100+ moles on my body however each one I have had a letter with result either clear or that there was changed but they are reassured as all cut away. However yesterday I received a telephone call that I will receive a letter in the post with a follow up appointment with the dermatologist to discuss my results which is in 2 weeks time & I am so worried about the outcome they said they can't discuss anything at the moment so I am so anxious about what's to come and also if it has come back with anything as it was so minor terrified of any changes I have missed/haven't noticed in all my other moles.

Has anyone else had this experience ? Is it part of process now to be called back up for results wither they are good or bad ? 
 

Thanks 

  • Hi,

    i'm like you have so many moles & also so careful. Over the years i have had a few removed & its  always been good news. my last one i had removed was 8 weeks ago & im still waiting for my results. With my others the results came back quickly, so you can imagine i'm so anxious. I telephoned today & was told the results were back & the consultant would be in touch. Its worrying when you don't know the outcome, my stress levels are so high with worry so i know how you feeli. Its the not knowing!! 
     

    i hope you have a positive outcome. Please let me either way as its good to talk to others with similar issues.

    take care

  • Hi Alexandra 01,

     

    Thought I'd take the time to come on and reply - hope you are well and have recieved reassuring results !

    My result was the best outcome it was a melanoma in situ however the pathologists lost the bottom part of my biopsy and they have reassured me that they are certain it was only a melanoma in situ so I have to receive WLE to remove further tissue to be sure however I haven't been able to get it done as I'm now pregnant and have to wait until second trimester consultant advised that this was best. My area of scarring has started itching like mad again and I have a small freckle beside it which is now turning weird so I'm starting to worry about the wait for the WLE x
