Hi 

I was wondering if anyone had any experience they could share that could help me understand some of the processes following a mole biopsy. 

I had a biopsy of a mole 5 weeks ago. At the time the dermatologist explained that it looked like an atypical mole although it was taken off as a full excisional biopsy to check. I chased the results on Thursday last week and later got an answer machine message to say they have now got the results and a letter has been posted. I have had other biopsies in the past so assumed that all is well however I have noticed on my medical records app with my go that dermatology have booked me in for a follow up appointment for the beginning of Jan. I have never needed a follow up from a biopsy before so my mind is getting carried away whilst waiting for the results.

I was wondering if:

1.you have follow up appointments for atypical moles?

2.if it is skin cancer (at stage 0 or 1) would they let you wait two months before following up or completing a wide local excision

3.has anyone has similar happen interms of results being give by letter and what was the outcome?

I know I should just wait for the letter but it is on my mind alot and I am struggling to make sence of what they will be following up as the mole has been removed and I don't have any other odd moles.

Thank you for any help you can give
