What Are The Symptoms Of Cancer?

Hi, I keep having calf pains and I noticed a changing mole there. I had a biospey and the lab said the results are still pending. I was told if it was longer then 72 hours that means something is growing. Now should I just assume it's a type of cancer?

Histopathological reports of biopsy specimen do take time as the specimen has to be fixed in paraffin before examination which normally takes 3 days. Delays can be due to many reasons, so relax and pray for a good report.
