hi i am just after some advice really i have a mole that i am under investigation for possible melanoma and im just trying to get my head around it i am constantly checking my nhs app to see if an appointment has appeared as i have been referred for biopsy 10 days ago but heard nothing since, its more my family i am worried about rather than me or a diagnosis if that makes sense.

    Did you get a referral letter from your GP? I received one a couple of days after my referral for a number to ring if I'd not been contacted forcan appointment after a week.

    i have had referral from dr to diagnostic screening and they took close up pictures which were then sent to dermatology who contacted me via my nhs app for an appointment, i had said app with dermatologist 10 day ago who said i was being referred for biopsy and handed me a leaflet about what to expect but havent heard anything since.

    i have a number i can contact but i know the lady who is my cancer coordinator so feel a little awkward approaching her
