hi all,
first time posting for me today. I went to the gp with a mole that had grown from the size of a pinhead to around 7mm in 5-6 months (It’s on my chest).
I went for a biopsy and was told it was an atypical mole, more specifically a Dysplastic Nevus and it would be removed as a precaution.
I had it removed nearly 4 weeks ago. It was 8mm when measured by the specialist so he had to do a larger area excision (eye shaped) to ensure he had removed the whole mole plus a margin of skin.had my stitches out last week. All good so far. No mention of having to ever go back etc thought I would get a letter like I did after the initial the biopsy
Got a phone call from the hospital on Tuesday to say ‘we HAVE to see you this week’. Booked in for Friday.
Got a phone all yesterday (Wednesday) to rearrange my appointment for the end of next week because ‘histology want to take another more in depth look at the cells’.
Im remaining blaze on the surface for work, husband and two teenagers but I am secretly starting to panic.
Isn’t it normal that they recall you back to the hospital just to give you reaults if it’s all clear? I’m making the presumption they must want to take more skin away or give me news that it’s not just a non cancerous dysplastic nevus.
Reassurance would be great but also honesty (if you don’t think it’s going to be all clear)
thanks on advance and apologies for spelling and grammar!
Mrs H
