my MIL has a basal carcinoma that appeared on her nose out of the blue.
she had it removed and taken a sample of the remaining skin for biopsy and got results the week after (this is SW London)
it was traumatic though, because they said to her it would take weeks and they would only call her earlier if it was bad news.
so someone calls her and says. you have a phone appointment with the dermatologist tomorrow.
she obviously panicked and cried all morning.
anyway, she had to go the the GP that afternoon to get her stitches removed and they couldn’t remove them all so had to go back to the surgeon that did the procedure at the hospital. she mentioned the call and he checked her records and it had come back clear.
moral of the story, however hard it may be, please don’t draw any conclusions until you actually hear back from the doctor themselves.
wish you the best of luck.
