Mole Removal and Follow-Up

Hi,

My significant other has recently had a mole removed and has had their follow-up appointment changed from a ‘Dermatology’ appointment to a ‘Palliative Medicine’ appointment. Has anyone else experienced this and have an understanding on why this may be? 

  • It sounds very odd. Sounds like a possible admin mistake as these appointments are made for people who have been having treatment for advanced cancer and the treatments have failed. If your significant other doesn't even have their biopsy results yet I think an error has been made somewhere. They need to contact dermatology or the contact number on the appointment letter for an explanation. Please let us know how they get on,

    Angie (Stage 3 melanoma patient since 2009)
