Hi,

I've never seen such an entry on the NHS app so I don't know what it means. However, I highly doubt the results would be downloaded on to the app before they've been discussed at the weekly Multi Disciplinary Team Meeting (MDT) where all results, whether clear or positive, are discussed. The patient doesn't get the results until after the meeting & neither does the GP.

The wait for results varies across the UK but the average time is currently 6 to 8 weeks I'm afraid. For peace of mind you could phone the secretary at Dermatology and ask if the results are back yet, explaining the entry on the app has worried you. They should be able to give you some indication as to how much longer you will be waiting. Good luck and please let us know how you get on,

Angie (Stage 3 melanoma patient since 2009)
