Hello,
I had a punch biopsy taken which showed I had Basal cell Carcinoma. I only found this out by chance by logging into the NHS app and noticing the result had been added to my profile. Later I rwcieved the write up letter to me personally which did not mention any result at all and just said I had been discharged from urgent pathway and would recieve a follow up I'm 'due course'. I finally got a appointment and it has come through as a 'general follow up' so have no idea what is happenening with this BCC remaining on me.
Is this normal procedure? As when I have had mole biopsy before the results letter have confirmed result even if it is benign but I have had no such thing on this occasion? The whole experience has been sub par I had to go through PALS originally as I was given an 8 month wait for an urgent referral and the dermatology desk seemingly lied as to the reason citing a shortage of consultants, however after being bumped up and seeing consultant I said this circumstance and he said it was not at all correct that there was a shortage of consultants. Very poor from NHS seems lime they don't care.
Nothing has been explained to me really through the whole process. Despite explaining that I have underlying Anxiety conditions.
