Hello amyinthelakes

I'm sorry to hear that you're waiting for biopsy results at the moment. We know that this can be a worrisome time for many people. 

We've had lots of posts here on the forum over the past few months where members have shared the delays that they've faced in waiting for dermatology biopsy results and it does seem to be an issue in many parts of the country. 

It's good to hear that the nurse carrying out the procedure was able to give you a time frame and I'd suggest that if you've not heard within the 8 weeks that they mentioned that you contact the hospital to ask for an update. 

If you'd like to one of our nurses about any concerns you have you're welcome to give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any advice and reassurance they can whilst you wait for your results. 

I do hope you have some news soon. 

Best wishes,
