Suspected skin cancer

I've had the same mole for years aand last month it changed colour and got a lil bigger. I had a urgent dermatology appointment which they suspected skin cancer then following a mole removal a week later. I'm still waiting for results as they said can take 4-6 weeks, 

 

however, in the meantime I've lost a lil weight (however have been eating better) but been having headaches and hot sweats. Has anyone experienced the same? 

  • I'm sorry to hear about the symptoms you've been experiencing whilst waiting for your test results to come through Kensy.

    If your symptoms don't improve or continue to get worse, it may be best to book an appointment with your GP to get this looked at. Hopefully it's not a sign of anything worrying but it's always better to be safe when anything unusual appears.

    Hopefully some of our members will offer their thoughts and advice to you soon as well but in the meantime, I hope this article I've found on how to cope with waiting for news will help keep your mind at bay until you know more.

    Kind regards,
