2ww for mole

Hello, I have had a strange mole for a couple of years now but recently noticed it was itchy and had grown. I went to the gp last week and they referred me to the hospital who put me on a 2 week urgent referral. I’ve just received an appointment date which is 2 months from now! Is this normal or should I get in contact?? 
to add to that I’m pretty sure my mole has gotten bigger overnight so I’m having a bit of a panic! Thanks

  • I am going through the same,My GP sent a 2ww by teledermatology,he said i have a mole suspicious for melanoma,they messaged me and said they have seen my referral and photos ot the mole have been looked at and i am on a waiting list for an appointment.I am worried to death.

  • Hi!

    I'm in a similar situation although mine is not a mole but a lump on my toe joint.

    The GP referred me on a 2 week referral..I also had photos done and then have to wait 2 weeks for a biopsy. Try not to worry too much. I know it is easier said than done.

    I do think a lot of it now is to try and get people on the Pathway quickly just get things seen. 

    I can't fault my hospital. Its been scary and nerve wracking but they're doing everything they should be.

    I hope you're ok but if you need to talk my inbox is always open
