Hi Shazh

I also went to my GP last week with the same thing. I was referred to dermatology through the two week pathway and I have received my appointment through today (it’s on 5/7) I am in Scotland so not sure if England etc follow same guidelines. 

The waiting is such a worry, I would maybe call your GP and ask if they have referred you through the two week pathway and if not you could maybe ask if they know current waiting times in your area? Did they refer you to dermatology?

I hope this helps a little.

Thank you so much for your reply. I'm also in Scotland. North Ayrshire. I didn't even ask the nurse. My head was spinning and I wasn't thinking properly, fingers crossed I hear something really soon because it's really affecting my mental health. I really hope everything is OK with you xx

Aw I’m Greater Glasgow and Clyde, just up the road from you :)

I noticed the title of your post after I replied and I saw you said urgent suspected cancer referral, that’s the same for me. Like you I left completely overwhelmed and had to call back the next day to double check my understanding.

Fingers crossed you get your letter through asap! My anxiety is through the roof, please do post an update and let us know how you get on and when your appointment is :) x

Thank you  I will call my doctors first thing in the morning and give you an update xx

Hey, how are you? Have you had your appointment yet? 

I called hospital and they said I will receive a letter by next week. They have also put me on the cancellation list so hopefully hear something soon x

Hi 

Well that’s good news, hopefully you’ll have a date then asap. 

My appointment is this Saturday morning with dermatology at hospital. On one hand I just want it over with and the other I don’t want to go.

How have you been feeling about it all? I’m trying to remain optimistic and not let my brain run away with itself but my God it’s hard.

Please keep me updated and best of luck. It's the not knowing I think. One day I'm optimistic and the next day I'm fearing the worst. My mole has changed again! Like you, I just want this dealt with xx
