Hello everyone
Just wondering if anyone has any experience to draw on with BCC wait times following biopsy.
I had a biopsy taken from my nose 3 weeks ago. I have been having appointments since last year with different dermatologists debating what the patch of crusting/bleeding skin is. After unsuccessfully freezing it (it returned after a 6 week clear spell) they agreed to biopsy it. The dermatologist said they would discharge me if the biopsy was clear as treating it was potentially just cosmetic.
Fast forward to today and I received a letter by text with another dermatology appointment in November (4.5 months away). No result. So not discharged but not called in to discuss a result and no indication on the letter. Would they have you wait months after a positive biopsy? I know of all skin cancer a BCC is slow growing etc but the long wait and lack of clarity is going to drive me bonkers. Any thoughts anyone?! It’s 10pm on a Friday night so not even able to call tomorrow or speak to anyone! No results on the NHS app either.
