Went to the GP about a mole on my back that my partner had noticed they referred me and I was seen quickly, a biopsy was taken and the doctor I saw was very reassuring that there’s stages a mole goes through before getting to cancer, if it was that they’ve removed the mole etc. however iv received my letter that they’ve wrote to my GP and it states ‘likely early melanoma’ and ‘highly suspicious of early melanoma’ which has spiralled my anxiety because he didn’t really emphasise that at the appointment so I felt quite reassured that I’d be okay. Can they tell it’s in the early stages or could it actually be advanced? The person I saw said 2-12 weeks for results but the lady that removed the mole for biopsy said 6-8. Do they really take this long? It’s only been nearly two weeks and I’m going insane! What is scaring me the most is looking back at pictures I first got a red mark in 2021 and it’s gradually changed which I didn’t notice till I went to the GP and locked back properly, now I’m scared iv noticed it too late.
