Moles

I went to doctors 9 weeks ago worried about a scabby mole on my leg he examined my back as had 2 itchy moles and he said he was worried about them 2 weeks later hospital rang me to say got my refferal to dermatology nut not heard anything since. Rang doctors but can't get an appointment only telephone which they told me to just wait nothing more they could do. Looking on this website I have a lot of symptoms and it's says they need removing within 6 weeks already over that what should I do

  • Hi @Sheepladymermaid12. 

    My wait from my initial doctors appt to having the mole took about 4 weeks to get my hospital appt and then it was another 4 weeks until I had my biopsy. You have noticed your mole and you are in the system its just the wait that can drive you mad, stay patient and im sure they will be in touch soon.

    I was diagnosed at Stage 1a melanoma and have since had a WLE and another 2 moles removed (the latest one about an hour ago!) My results so far are all clear, please feel free to message me if I can help you with anything else x

  • Thankyou I know it's not just me waiting but like you say the not knowing drives you mad I am in panic mode trying to sort my husband and children out for when I'm not here. Not had a good experience with cancer outcomes in my family my mum died when I was 13 and my auntie 3 years ago 

  • I'm sorry to hear that; it's a nightmare not knowing, as the other Steph said maybe contact the dermatology dept and see if they can give you any answers, mine always give me my appointments before I get my letters through, maybe worth a try x
