MELANOMA

My husband had an appointment today with his GP and has been told he has a cancerous melanoma below the neck. The GP is referring him to get it cut out. How quickly will he get word to go to hospital as we are supposed to be going away on Sunday for a few days this has all been booked and paid for. Should we still go or cancel it dont know how quickly an appointment will be and don't want to be away if an appointment is booked while we are away. Your advice would be greatly appreciated? 

  • Hi, I had the same  about 18 months ago.  I also had a holiday booked which I advise the doctor about. In my experience appointments take at least 2/3 weeks. I went on holiday and if was you I would do the same.  It will do you both good to get away.
