Two week urgent

Two weeks referral if not contacted after 48 hours contact them . So I did and was told to ring back after 2 weeks. So I got nothing so phoned and was given a telephone appointment with a nurse two weeks later. So 4 weeks from the start I get a phone call the photo shows cancer and you be put on a waiting list is 17 weeks to see the specialist. And you will receive a letter what is the time line on a two week referral I not seen a single person face to face . For three skin cancer sites 

  • Hello 1007 and welcome to Cancer Chat,

    I'm sorry that the process in taking long and that you haven't spoken to someone in person. Unfortunately, as you can imagine, there is a high demand on all health services which may contribute to this delay. In the meantime, you can find information on the urgent referral page of our website. This includes guidance around what to expect at the appointment.

    Do chase this in case of cancelations and, in the meantime, it might help to make notes of your symptoms or any changes to them in case you'd like to discuss them with the specialist. 

    I hope this helps in some way,

    Moderator Anastasia
