Suspected Melanoma - has anyone else been told not to worry despite being fast tracked?

I had a full body check 5 weeks ago with consultant dermatologist who just flagged up my normal AK problem which I have been treating in various areas for nearly six years with Fluracil While treating my leg I felt a large brown patch that has been thete for several years looked slightly different I have no idea  how long it has looked different as it has been checked regularly over 6 years I just went to my GP for reassurance and she has put me on the fast track while telling me she doesnt think its anything to be worried a out She is very young and in training but it has sent me onto a really bad anxiety has any one else been fast tracked whilst being told probably nothing to worry about 

  • Sorry to hear you are going through this,  my husband has Actinic Keratosis mostly on his head  he had a cancerous groth removed from his head in January 2026,  but it had clear margins so all was ok,  he goes every 3 months for a check up on is head all is good , when he goes they alway check his back as he has quite a few moles,  when we went 3 months a the cancer specialist nurse said she wanted to keep her eye one one of them, when we went Monday we saw another cancer specialist nurse,  she said i think we need to remove that mole as it could be melanoma you will hear within in 2 weeks to have it removed , we heard the same afternoon , he has is minor operation on Saturday 14th , so we thought thats quick, but it was the same with his head that was very fast and we didn't know that was going to be cancerous,  so we are not worried that it happening fast, i know its eady to say but try not to worry as im telling myself , i hope all goes well for you.
