Lump on back of my neck, really tough waiting for referral

I have a really unusual lump on the back of my neck. I have to wait another two weeks for my dematology appointment and I can't get any sleep. Has anyone ever had anything like this?

Thanks

  • Hello Lofty

    I'm sorry to hear that you're waiting for an appointment with the specialist at the moment. We know that for many people it's a difficult period of time. The unknown can be a scary prospect to face and it's understandable that many people feel anxious. 

    This interesting article on the Saga website has some advice about coping with the wait but it can also help to talk your concerns through with someone. If you think that chatting with one of our nurses would benefit you then you're most welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. 

    I hope that the Dermatologist will be able to give you some reassurance when you see them. 

    Best wishes,
