Hi, I’ve had a lifelong tan large mole on the side of my foot that changed colour and developed a black patch the end of last year. Originally I ignored the change as it didn’t itch. I eventually saw Gp end of jan who put me on 2 week pathway. Mole was seen by derm 3 weeks later. I was told it looked like early changes and possibly acral lentiginous melanoma.
the mole was removed one month later. I was told I would get results by letter or called in to discuss and it would take upto 8 weeks.
I’ve passed 7 weeks now, I rang dermatologist secretary yesterday to be told still no results and they’re now expected 8-10 weeks.
am I foolish to think that the longer it goes on that the result is more likely to be benign ? I’ve read a lot of people have received a diagnosis after 3-5 weeks.
as time goes by I’m getting more and more anxious each day.
Ive had biopsies from colon and womb in the past and benign results were pretty quick.. this is absolute torture having to now wait upto 10 weeks.
im based in Wolverhampton, has anyone else had to wait this long for results.
