Welcome to our Cancer Chat, EoghanMcC.
I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling so worried about the lesion and the referral. Waiting for appointments and results can be stressful, and it’s completely understandable that it’s making you anxious.
It’s good that your GP has made an urgent referral, as the dermatologist will be able to examine the area and give you clear guidance.
If you’d like to talk things through with someone, our nurses are available on the freephone 0808 800 4040, Monday–Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and can offer support and information.
Once you know more, please come back and give us an update. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that nothing serious is found.
All the best,
Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
