No – still waiting. I know the nurses' line is getting irritated with me calling so much, but they just keep telling me the same thing…results can take up to 2 weeks and if they don't find anything they notify me by mail. The problem is that the derm told me in the office it was most likely melanoma and was very concerned.  If she was so concerned, I don't know why she wouldn't call me back with the results by now! I am most definitely finding another derm after all of this, the waiting is just too much. Any recommendations for a derm in Nebraska?

Hi BBoggs78, I am so sorry you are going through such a hard time. When I read your post, it really resonanted with me, because I feel the same way.  

I had brain surgery for a benign vestibular schwanoma surgically removed in May; I no sooner had a clean MRI and I am now hit with a melanoma scare. I went to the dermatologist and she is convinced my mole is melanoma.  That visit was on Friday (30 Dec) and I am now waiting for the pathology to come back.  I am going absolutely crazy. I feel like I have been through so much (also had my gall bladder out and developed pancreatitis from that whole mess), then craniotomy and then I had a still birth on Dec 21st; I just don't know how much medical challenges I can keep having before I have a complete mental break down.  

My prayers are for both you and me; hoping we get our results ASAP so we can start solving our problems!
