Hi Leigh2471,

Please don't read too much into the swift appointment - it may be that your results were done quickly & are fine but they usually like to give results face to face, whether good or bad. If it turns out that they aren't fine then it's still not the end of the world so don't panic. I know it's frightening to get a diagnosis of cancer but great strides are being made in the field of melanoma and treatments are encouraging. If your mole was caught early it won't have grown too deep and then had chance to spread so there are lots of variables in what your results may be. I, myself, have had melanoma for 23 years and I know many patients who have had melanoma since their children were babies and they are now waving them off to university, seeing them marry or becoming parents themselves so try not to project your worry too far into the future. 

Good luck with your results and please let us know how you get on,

Angie

Hi Angie, 

Thank you so much for taking the time to give such a positive reply. I will admit I immediately started panicking and thinking the worst. Your reply has been very reassuring, even if it is not great news, it might not be disastrous. 

I hope that you are doing well?
