Hi Peteypops and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.
I'm sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with non melanoma skin cancer and that you've noticed some new symptoms.
If you're worried, the best thing to do would be to contact your GP as they will be in the best position to advise and hopefully put your mind at ease whilst you wait to be seen at the hospital.
Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar position will share their thoughts and advice with you soon, but if you'd like to have a quick chat with one of our cancer nurses about this, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to help.
We're thinking of you Peteypops and wishing you all the best with your referral next month.
Kind regards,
Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
