Mole Excision
Hi,
On Feb 21st I met a consultant (privately) who expressed concern upon examining a suspicious mole on the bridge of my left foot. He told me he would get an appointment for me to have it removed in the following fortnight.
The next week on the 28th I received a phone call with an appointment made for the Monday March 2nd.
He removed the entire mole along with extra tissue surrounding the mole and underneath the mole and informed me he was marking 'urgent' on the tests and he hoped to have results within 2 weeks. Before I left the hospital the nurse handed me information for my GP (I had 2 layers of stitches and the top layer needed to be removed after 2 weeks) and she said it would be 6 weeks before I get the results.
It is now nearly 8 weeks and I haven't heard a dickie bird. I understand the Covid-19 is delaying labs and test results, but I thought I would have heard something by now,
Is anyone else waiting as long as me?
Hi loxontherox,
Thanks for posting, it can be a very anxious time while waiting for results. It can take a few weeks for results to come back depending on the tests ordered and also now with delays due to COVID 19. We would suggest getting in contact with the consultant who removed the mole or their nurse to see if the results have come back. Your GP may also have a copy of these results or may be able to follow up on your behalf. If you would like to speak with a cancer nurse for any further advice please do not hesitate to contact us on 1800 200 700,
Kind Regards,
Cancer Nurse
