(UK-based) Had a 4mm mole removed on my foot - is waiting this long to know test results normal on the NHS?
I’m 28F, based in the UK so this will be specific to the NHS system and wondered if anyone has gone through a similar thing?
I had a 4mm mole excised fully for biopsy last Sunday. It was located on the side of the sole of my foot, dark, grew from 2mm in 2025 so doubled in size, was uneven in colour with slightly irregular borders. I had concerns about acral lentiginous melanoma.
I was told during surgery I won’t get my results until early October when I’ve been booked in for a follow up appointment. I’m being seen under the NHS in the West Midlands so just wondered if a 2 month wait for something like this is normal? It feels like a long time and I have to just sit and wait.
If any UK people have been through something similar and can share their experiences I’d be so grateful ☺️
