        I’ve decided I have no patience. It’s 2 weeks today since the biopsy and as the surgeon said 2 weeks for results I was optimistically thinking I’d get a call today-I just hate not knowing . My foot is healing well (after ripping a stitch) but one the stitches is totally covered by skin now and it’s still a week before they are meant to come out, is that a problem?

          Thanks for your reassuring response Mark, it's really appreciated. My mobility has actually improved loads today and I can hobble about without crutches. I did get lectured about the high risk of the stitches tearing due to the location and wound size, so will take it slowly but hopefully can drive to work on Monday. My mole meassured 7.8mm, which I thought wasn't that large, but the Dr thought it was big. I just wish I knew when the results might come in. 

          It's reassuring to hear you've come through ALM. Thanks again
