I recently went to the doctor after the lady I clean for pointed my mole out and said she didn't like the look of it and suggested I get it checked, I booked a doctors appointment and had to wait just over a month for an appointment, when I went to the doctors he said he would like a biopsy taken as it's was asymmetrical, difference is colour flakey and also dipped slightly he put this through as urgent, I am now still waiting for the biopsy to the done I have rang the doctors several times to see when I would get an appointment and was told the last time I rang they have a backlog and it could be weeks or it could be months. I was obviously worried to begin with but now this many weeks later just waiting for the biopsy to be done let alone result into anxiety is going through the roof, this was due to be done at my doctor surgery and not a referral to the hospital and I'm not sure what else I can do.
I have rung around a few places to see about getting it done privately I have rang the Nuffield and been told the earliest I could get a consultation is end of may June sort of time as there is a wait. I'm worried sick and not sure what else I can do. I have red up lots about melanomas and worries how quickly it can spread if left. I have 3 children and can't stop thinking what if it's not good news does anyone else have any suggestions of what more I can do ?
