Waiting On Biopsy Results Posted: 01-10-07 18:57pm
I had a shave biopsy on 1/4/07 and called
today (hoping the results would be in a
little early) and she stood firm in saying
that it takes 2 weeks. I find it very
hard to believe that it really takes that
long, but I digress. I am literally
going crazy with worry. The nurse
*thinks* my mole was benign, but as I have
read, you really never can tell until the
results come back. I know it has been
there for at least 4 years, so of course I
am terrified that if it is melanoma, it
will have spread everywhere by now. Oh
and now I read that shave biopsies are
heavily discouraged when melanoma was
suspected, but they did a shave biopsy on
me =( I know she doesnt think its
melanoma, but what if she is wrong, and
now they wont be able to accurately stage
it. Any voice of reason would be soo
greatly welcomed =)
