Mole biopsy wait time
Last reply:

Hi everyone, I had a mole excision on 28th of January. My consultant was concerned it could be melanoma. She said 10-14 days for biopsy results. Currently 11 days. My friend tells me I'm silly to worry as I would have heard by now if it was bad news.
Just wondering if anyone had any experiences with wait times and if cancer diagnosis meant expedited results?
Many thanks, Elaine

I had a mole removed on 15th January 2020. I only got my results on 25th February 2020. Unfortunately, it was a melanoma. I have to go for further procedures now. The entire mole was removed in my case, it wasn't just a biopsy.

Hi
I was phoned to come in to get my results after 2.5 weeks...
Dear Elaine,
Thank you for posting. Having a biopsy or any tests done can be a very worrying time. Generally, results can take two to three weeks to come back regardless of what the result may be, a cancer diagnosis does not necessarily mean that you would get your results quicker. Please call the Nurseline on 1800200700 if you would like any further advice,
Kind Regards
