Hello!
I can only imagine your anxiety! When my husband found out he had melanoma, the results were back within a week. He recently went back to the dermatologist to have two other moles removed that appeared normal, but we were being safe. It took almost two weeks for the results to come back as normal.
I know all labs are different, but hopefully your situation is similar!
Good luck!

Thank you for all your research! I read all those posts and agree that referral seems to be ideal.
I was aware of the trial the university is conducting, the catch is that Kaiser is also running that trial. They told me if I want to be referred then I am technically declining that trial, which we don't want to do. We're sort of stuck it appears. The other road I may go is there is a MAGE-A3 trial I found in VA that he qualifies for, I may push for that.
Any thoughts on which trial may be better if we had the choice? Ipi vs Interferon or MAGE? We talked and thought that if were randomized to the Interferon arm, he would likely decline the trial.
We meet with the new oncologist on Tuesday, hopefully for some answers!
Thank you again for your wealth of knowledge and insight!
