Skin cancer

I’ve just been told that I have three moles that need removing to which one the doctor believes is skin cancer. They are trying to fast track me, has anyone else gone through this and been alright afterwards 

  • Hello Thedefender

    I'm sorry to hear that you're currently waiting for mole removal as the doctor believes that this may be cancerous. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious. 

    Was this recommendation from your GP or have you already seen a dermatologist? Hopefully, you won't have to wait too long for your next appointment. 

    We have quite a few members here who have had different skin cancer diagnoses. If these moles do turn out to be cancerous we can try to connect you with others who have had similar experiences. 

    In the meantime, if you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    Keep in touch and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
