      Thank you so much for your replies. It’s much appreciated!

      I’ve obviously gotten the whole, if it’s serious, you’ll hear in in day thing, wrong.

      I think it may be my coping mechanism. I’ve decided it’s not it, so I no longer need to dwell.

      Sending much happiness to you all.

      Fingers crossed it’s not (although deep down it might be).

      Bums, I’m much more productive when I think it’s going to be a negative result.

      Thanks Gail.

      I hope you’re doing well?

      It may seem I am being slightly too hasty, but that’s because I was so convinced it was melanoma – and the derm having a good, frank, honest discussion with me – that I was convinced if it was it, it would come back by now.

      I’ll wait another day before I bring out the poppers.

      If it isn’t this, it means moving in to a trial for a chronic illness, so still lots to come, but ticking off.

      Ah, thanks Jenn!

      I think that’s what I’m doing, keeping positive. If I’ve not heard, it’s nothing. πŸ™‚

      I’ve been ill with a lot else over the last 18 months, so to have stage 4 would make sense. But it was only small.

      It’s crazy some people’s look normal and are not.

      I would be interested to know what people’s looked like, also. I saw mime and thought, melanoma. But I also, as above, have seen a lot that look it and are not.

      Let’s see… But thank you for letting me know it took 2 weeks. I like to be informed! πŸ™‚

      Sending you positive energy.

      I would like to say also, apologies if this is the wrong place to post.

      I’ve Googled biopsy result times, but generally it says if it is, you get a call within days, and if not, a few weeks.

      Thank you.

      Hi Jenn, it’s been two weeks tomorrow so I guess it was clear. I think I might call, but u can’t imagine if it was anything they’d leave it over two weeks, right? I hope your latest surgery went well?
