I just wanted to update my thread as a courtesy to anyone reading this in the future.

I had my mole fully excised at an NHS hospital one week ago today. At the time, I was told my results could take between 2 and 6 weeks (OMG), but the dermatologist indicated she was trying to put a rush on my results (yay, but also scary that she…Read more
