Possible Melanoma Biopsy awaiting results

I have recently had a biopsy done on a suspicious looking mole on my back 3 weeks ago. I have had a number of moles removed over the years as I have many moles on my body and my mum had melanoma. I had a melanoma in situ on my leg 3 years ago which required WLE and then no further treatment I was very grateful. This time around whilst waiting on my results I am extremely anxious and on Friday 28th Nov I missed a call from dermatology and a voicemail to call them back at 4.25pm I called back 4.30pm and was unable to get through kept trying until 5pm. The last time I got a call from the hospital was for the news it was a melanoma so this whole weekend I have now been in a state of what stage etc and everything else I am wondering if anyone has ever had a call for good news? 

thank you 

  • Hello Sparkles91

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been waiting for the results of a biopsy for a possible melanoma. Hopefully you were able to speak with someone in the dermatology department today and they were able to give you some news and reassurance. 

    If there's anything you'd like to talk through with one of our nurses, you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. 

    Let us know how you get on when you're able to. 

    Best wishes,
