Mole

Hi I’ve recently been to the doctors with a mole and they have sent me for an urgent referral to have it looked at .

Ive had photos took by a specialist who have sent them to the hospital 

what happens now will the hospital contact me and tell me if everything’s ok over the phone ? Or if it’s not ok ( which I’m 100% sure it’s fine just worry myself as my Nan had skin cancer ) will they arrange an appointment to see me face to face 

thanks 

  • Hi Bolly99 and thank you for your post.

    I'm sorry to hear you have a mole that concerns you.

    Different doctors or departments might have different ways of sharing results. Some may call to tell you the results, while others might send a letter. Some doctors prefer not to give results over the phone or by mail, and many choose face-to-face visits, whether the news is good or bad. 

    I hope you hear soon and everything is okay.

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5 pm Monday to Friday.

     Kind regards

    Tina
