8 week mark

Tomorrow (Monday 13th) will be exactly 8 weeks since I had my skin excision biopsy. 
I am keeping my fingers crossed that this will finally be week I receive my results. It’s been an awful wait since February for this to be over. 
I’m due to go on holiday very soon, so I’m hoping at this stage I’ll have a definite answer. All I have so far is suspected skin cancer. Friends have tried to reassure saying if it was bad it would have come back by now. But then like I say, I really hope it does come back ok. 
but if it’s benign, why are people being made to wait 3 months for that answer; it’s torture for their mental health

  • I feel your torture, I’ve just gone past the 8 week stage for suspected melanoma. Was told this week by hospital that results are taking longer currently and to expect them by 10 weeks. My mental health is terrible this past couple of weeks. It is so cruel especially when I’ve had biopsies from colon and womb with benign results in 2-3 weeks.
