That is so annoying. Sorry it is being rescheduled, especially as you had prepared yourself to have it done. That's pretty tough, having it changed at the last minute. I really hope you have a new appointment made soon and before Xmas. It's not easy going through these things around the Xmas period, too much uncertainty and anxiety to deal with. 

Yes it is a rubbish time of year to have these things playing on your mind. I had already had to wait 5 weeks for the excision appointment to role round, I really hope its not a long wait until the next appointment. Sick of feeling nervous, just want it all done!

Hey, i totally understand how you feel. Had a mole removed 5 weeks ago and get results tomorrow. I have severe health anxiety and have convinced myself that it's going to be very serious. I have 3 very young children . 

Wish you all the best for your results today. It's not nice to go through this waiting game.

At least the anxiety involved with waiting will be done. I struggle a lot with health anxiety at the best of times so this kind of thing doesn't help and I am great at convincing myself of the worst case.

I'm sorry you are going through the same waiting game - I have young children too, health anxiety is through the roof. I really hope you get on ok today 

Hi, just thought I would update you. My biopsy results came back as a melanoma. Luckily it's a melanoma in situ, only 0.6mm deep. Feeling a mixture of emotions, in a way relief as there's like a 2% chance of spread. I have to have further surgery to remove more skin around the area to make sure they've got it all. It's the best outcome in a bad situation. 
 

scary thing is, when it was looked at by both my GP and the consultant they said it didn't look suspicious. It was removed as a "just incase" an "ugly duckling". Thankfully. 
 

hope you get yours sorted soon and I hope this doesn't cause you anymore stress than you're already experiencing.  I definitely feel better knowing what I'm dealing with than with all the waiting etc. 

take care. X

Hi, I have just replied the results on this thread? Not sure if you can see it. I'm sorry you're going through it and also with your health anxiety. It's awful. I'm currently having Cognitive behavioural therapy for my health anxiety. 
hope you get on ok xxx

I'm so sorry about the results you have received, you must be feeling a whole range of emotions right now. Thank you for coming back to keep us in the loop  I hope they manage to get you in for the further excision  very soon and put an end to it all for you x

Thank you. I appreciate that. I really hope everything goes ok for you and you're not waiting too long xx
