A bit of a story - but my husband noticed a mole on chest (right side) that had started to look a little different and I had to admit I had become aware (slightly itchy).  Had dermoscopy on 31st Jan at 2pm.  GP rang 9am the next morning to advise 2ww cancer pathway.  Suspected malignant melanoma.  Had NHS consultation with dermatology on 15th Feb.  We do have BUPA (lost my husbands best friend and my father last March/April to cancer which prompted us to pay for BUPA) so my husband booked as well for a private dermatologist to look at the mole.  The NHS consultant immediately (in the room for about 10 mins max) said needed to have a full excision and ASAP. However she warned wait is up to 7-8 weeks but she would put me down for cancellations and 28 day recommendation and told me to chase after 2 weeks.  She also said to keep the private appointment.  Had this 21st Feb.  He took bloods (all fine) and then referred on to another consultant- a melanoma specialist.  He also had concerns of a second mole on my coccyx.  Both lesions measured 16x9mm the chest very dark - meets the ABCDE and is scabby/broken.  New consultant contacted me the following day.  Booked for excision (and this was done) last Friday 1st March and both were taken with a 2 mm margin.  I am now awaiting the results.  The big question is should I be prepared based on 4 (including the Dr who reviewed the dermoscopy) dermatologist/consultants who seem to react quite quickly and letters and appointments where ‘further treatments’ are spoken about and being told to ‘try to take time/not stress’?  The sense of urgency is reassuring and glad they’re gone - but my husband thinks that is that but is it?  I have been told he will see me face to face next week (said results would be 7-10 days / not sure if that includes weekends?).  I am a positive person, but a realist.  Can they tell?  Do they know?  Any advice would be lovely.  Apologies for the long post!
