I have an appointment next week to get a mark on my body checked at the hospital will I find out the same day if it is serious. And what will happen at the hospital
A lot depends upon what the Consultant finds and whether or not a biopsy is taken. If it is, you are likely to have to wait a few weeks for the results.
When I attended, I spoke to the consultant and told him how long I'd had the lesion for. He examined it and decided to carry out a biopsy. I had a local anaesthetic and I then had a few stitches in the area that the biopsy was taken from and told to return to get the stitches removed the following week. I was told that it would take about 8 weeks to get another appointment for my biopsy results.
When I went to get the stitches removed, I told the nurse how anxious I was about the results. She went away to speak to the consultant and he came in to tell me that it was benign. I understand that the delay in getting dermatology results is because this tends to be a very busy department in most hospitals. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on.
I sincerely hope that all turns out well for you and that nothing untoward is found. We are always here for you.
